When evaluating patients, environmental and personal factors are always considered: pollution, smoking, occupational hazards and living environment (dust, silica, asbestos, flours, birds, inks, other pollutants). All these elements may lead to development of respiratory pathologies.
In the evaluation of patients with respiratory pathologies it is usual to recur to complimentary diagnosis exams, such as: chest X-ray, spirometry, pulmonary function test, chest CT scan, and bronchoscopy.
