More pulmonology trends
All specialties →High-flow nasal oxygen
High-flow nasal oxygen in acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure.
Key point: HFNC is strongly recommended for adults with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure, with close monitoring for escalation, based primarily on reduced need for intubation.
Biologics in COPD
Dupilumab and other biologics for COPD with type 2 inflammation.
Key point: Pooled analyses suggest dupilumab and mepolizumab consistently reduce moderate-to-severe exacerbations in eosinophilic or type 2 inflammatory COPD.
Bronchiectasis
Non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis and its newer treatments.
Antifibrotics in pulmonary fibrosis
Nintedanib, pirfenidone and newer antifibrotics.
Biologics in severe asthma
Biologic therapies for severe asthma.
Key point: Biologic choice in adult severe asthma can be impacted by quality of life impairment, lung function, exacerbation frequency, oral corticosteroid use, endotype, biomarkers and comorbidities.
Lung cancer screening
Low-dose CT screening for lung cancer.
Key point: Low-dose CT screening reduces lung cancer death risk by at least 21% and should be offered to people aged 50–75 with at least 20 pack-years.

How these numbers are counted
PubMed query, searched in titles and abstracts by publication date:
"robotic bronchoscopy"[tiab] OR "robotic-assisted bronchoscopy"[tiab] OR "navigational bronchoscopy"[tiab]Trials: ClinicalTrials.gov studies first submitted in each 12-month window that match the same terms. A query can miss synonyms or catch unrelated papers, so treat counts as approximate.
