About the clinic
Pneumonia treatment at Preventis in Santiago, Dominican Republic, focuses on medical management and lung function recovery. The clinic holds ICONTEC ISO 9001 and IQNET accreditations, showing a commitment to standardized quality in patient care. Dr. Eugenia Solano leads the pulmonology services, specializing in respiratory infections, asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Diagnosis of pneumonia
The clinic uses an on-site laboratory and imaging center to identify the cause of lung infections. These tools help doctors distinguish between bacterial and viral pneumonia. Patients have access to a full range of tests in one location:
- Pulmonology consultation. Dr. Eugenia Solano evaluates symptoms and reviews medical history.
- Chest X-ray and CT scan. Digital imaging shows the location and extent of fluid or inflammation in the lungs.
- Laboratory tests. A hemogram and bacterial cultures help identify the specific pathogen causing the infection.
- Pulmonary function tests. These measurements check how well the lungs move air and oxygen.
- Bronchoscopy. This procedure allows the doctor to look directly into the airways if the infection is persistent.
Pneumonia treatment methods
The medical team focuses on clearing the infection and preventing respiratory failure. Treatment plans are personalized based on the severity of the illness and the patient's age. The facility operates a multi-branch network across Santiago, Puerto Plata, and Navarrete, providing local access to specialized respiratory care.
- Medical management. This is the primary treatment for acute infections. It includes targeted therapies to fight the cause of pneumonia and manage symptoms like cough or fever.
- Pulmonary rehabilitation. This supportive program helps patients regain lung strength after a severe infection. It focuses on improving breathing techniques and overall quality of life.
Preventis provides support for international patients who travel to the Dominican Republic for medical care. The clinic network uses digital X-rays and ultrasound to monitor progress throughout the recovery period. To learn more about the options available, you may request a consultation through Bookimed.
