The Pulmonology Department at Memorial Publio Cordón Hospital specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the respiratory system, ranging from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease to complex interstitial conditions, sleep-related breathing disorders and lung cancer.
Care is organised into highly specialised clinical units that combine advanced functional assessment, high-resolution diagnostic techniques and interventional procedures where indicated. From the very first consultation, respiratory function is integrated with the overall clinical picture, leading to the development of an individualised treatment plan and a structured follow-up programme.
The care model is based on expert judgement, hospital coordination and clinical continuity – essential elements in respiratory conditions that often require long-term management.
The presence of progressive shortness of breath, persistent cough, recurrent respiratory infections, abnormal radiological findings or suspected lung cancer requires a specific pulmonological assessment.
A combined analysis of respiratory function and imaging tests enables the precise characterisation of the aetiology of the condition — whether obstructive, interstitial, inflammatory or neoplastic — and guides the diagnosis in a targeted manner, avoiding delays and non-specific treatments.
The speciality plays a role both in confirming the diagnosis and in optimising the therapeutic approach, particularly in complex or difficult-to-manage clinical cases.
Care begins with a specialist consultation that takes into account medical history, risk factors and respiratory function tests, supplemented by imaging studies and advanced tests where indicated.
The multidisciplinary analysis of the findings enables us to determine the most appropriate treatment strategy. Standardised follow-up makes it easier to anticipate complications, assess response and adjust treatment judiciously, thereby reducing clinical uncertainty.
The speciality is organised into units that enable each area of respiratory medicine to be addressed with technical expertise and hospital-wide coordination.
The Obstructive Respiratory Diseases Unit provides comprehensive management of COPD, asthma and other disorders involving airflow limitation, combining precise functional assessment with clinical phenotyping to tailor treatment for accuracy and sustained stability.
The Respiratory Sleep Medicine Unit studies and treats obstructive sleep apnoea and other sleep disorders using tests tailored to each individual case, guiding treatment according to the patient’s individual clinical and cardiovascular profile.
The Pulmonary Interstitial and Rare Diseases Unit specialises in the diagnosis of pulmonary fibrosis, sarcoidosis and other interstitial diseases through highly specialised clinical, radiological and functional assessment.
The Advanced Bronchoscopy Unit performs high-precision techniques that enable histological confirmation and a specialised approach to lesions that are difficult to locate, integrated into coordinated care pathways.
The Pulmonary Nodule and Lung Cancer Unit focuses on the expert assessment of suspicious radiological findings and on coordinated treatment planning based on tumour stage and profile.
The unit carries out a comprehensive diagnostic assessment of prolonged coughs or recurrent infectious episodes, enabling targeted treatment and follow-up aimed at sustained clinical stability.
The unit is involved in the early identification of functional abnormalities in people with respiratory risk factors, drawing up personalised preventive plans aimed at preserving long-term lung health.
The department comprises pulmonologists with specific expertise who work in close coordination with other hospital departments when the complexity of a case so requires.
Treatment decisions are made following a joint assessment, ensuring diagnostic consistency and continuity of care.
Alongside technical rigour, care is based on a fundamental principle: taking the time needed to listen, clearly explaining the diagnosis and supporting patients through every decision. Clear information and close follow-up form part of comprehensive respiratory care.
An expert assessment makes it possible to confirm the diagnosis, determine the type and severity of respiratory impairment, and establish a treatment strategy appropriate to the individual’s clinical condition.
