Pulmonology

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Clinic at CMC Dubai, provides care and treatment for patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), a chronic lung disease that makes it difficult to breathe. COPD clinics offer comprehensive care and management for patients with COPD, including diagnosis, treatment, and education.

At a COPD clinic, patients receive a personalized treatment plan based on their individual needs and symptoms. This may include

  • Medications
  • Oxygen therapy
  • Pulmonary rehabilitation,

and lifestyle changes to manage symptoms and improve quality of life. The goal of a COPD clinic is to help patients manage their symptoms, prevent exacerbations, and improve their overall lung function.

COPD clinics also provide education and support for patients and their families, including information on managing symptoms, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and preventing exacerbations. Patients may also receive counseling on smoking cessation, as smoking is a major risk factor for developing COPD.

In general, COPD clinics are essential to managing and treating COPD because they give patients the specialist treatment they require to control their symptoms and enhance their quality of life.

Chronic bronchitis is characterized by a persistent cough and increased mucus production in the lungs, while emphysema involves damage to the walls of the air sacs in the lungs, which reduces the amount of oxygen that can be delivered to the body.

Smoking is the main contributor to the development of COPD, but other lung irritants and exposure to air pollution can also play a role. Shortness of breath, wheezing, chest tightness, and a persistent cough are all signs of COPD.

Treatment for COPD typically involves lifestyle changes, such as

  • quitting smoking
  • avoiding lung irritants

as well as medications to help manage symptoms and improve lung function. In severe cases, oxygen therapy or surgery may be necessary.
