Abstract:
This selection of pneumological novelties of the year 2022 is not limited to pharmacological acquisitions but also includes progress in diagnostic strategies and the global management of respiratory diseases. We have chosen three pneumological issues. As cannabis is the most consumed illegal substance in Switzerland, it is important to know its impact on pulmonary physiology. An update of the international guidelines on pulmonary fibrosis as well as the European guidelines on pulmonary hypertension provides practical answers to the many clinical problems encountered in the management of these diseases. The key messages from these two consensus documents are reported here.
