About Pulmonary Expert Witnesses

Reliable Clinical Experts matches attorneys with pulmonary specialists who assess missed pulmonary embolism, ventilator complications, ARDS management failures, and delayed lung cancer diagnosis.

Common Issues Reliable Clinical Experts Evaluates:

Delayed diagnosis of pulmonary embolism despite classic presentation
Ventilator-associated pneumonia from inadequate infection prevention bundles
Failure to recognize impending respiratory failure requiring intubation
Missed lung cancer nodules on chest CT requiring follow-up
Inadequate ARDS management with inappropriate ventilator settings

Pulmonary Expert Witness FAQs

Common questions about Reliable Clinical Experts pulmonary expert witness services.

When should pulmonary embolism be suspected?

Reliable Clinical Experts pulmonologists testify that PE should be considered in patients with sudden shortness of breath, pleuritic chest pain, tachycardia, hypoxia, or risk factors including recent surgery, immobility, or malignancy.

What are ventilator-associated complications?

Reliable Clinical Experts pulmonary experts testify that mechanical ventilation can cause barotrauma (pneumothorax), ventilator-associated pneumonia, and ventilator-induced lung injury from inappropriate settings.
