PULMONARY AND CRITICAL CARE MEDICINE
CLINCAL SERVICES

      The clinical activities of the Division encompass a broad range of acute and chronic disorders of the lung as well as medical critical care. Inpatient activities include supervision of the Medical Intensive Care Unit and the pulmonary consultative team both at Hermann Hospital and the Lyndon B. Johnson General Hospital. Residents assigned to the Medical Intensive Care Units work closely with the primary teams, the pulmonary fellow, and attending physician to care for all of these patients. Both of these services emphasize, in addition to routine diagnosis and therapy, the pathophysiologic basis of disease and the use of newer diagnostic techniques. There is also a consultative service at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. The clinical laboratories in the Division include a pulmonary function laboratory, an exercise performance laboratory, and a sleep laboratory. The emphasis of these laboratories is on the invasive and noninvasive assessment of abnormal pulmonary mechanics, disordered gas exchange, and pulmonary vascular disease.
