The pediatric pulmonology field is a specialized field in children’s health which focuses on breathing and lung problems. Specialists treat the full range of conditions of the respiratory system, including chronic cough, wheezing, recurrent respiratory infections and pneumonia, asthma, exercise limitation, lung diseases of premature infants, sleep-disordered breathing, and congenital abnormalities of airway.
Your child is in good hands with Giuliana Gayoso , MD, a pediatric pulmonology physician at Avera Medical Group Pediatric Specialists in Sioux Falls, SD.
Expert Care in Pediatric Pulmonology
Dr. Gayoso diagnoses complicated pulmonary conditions using tests such as a flexible bronchoscopy or pulmonary function test.
- A flexible bronchoscopy examines the airways while your child is under sedation and extracts mucus or tissue for further testing.
- Pulmonary function tests measure how well your child’s lungs are performing, such as the volume, capacity and rate of airflow.
Some of Dr. Gayoso’s areas of interests include:
- Asthma management
- Recurrent pneumonia
- Chronic lung disease/bronchopulmonary dysplasia
- Ineffective airway clearance
- Assisted ventilation
“Throughout the whole process, I strive to keep families at ease, working with the parents and child as a team to get the best care possible,” said Dr. Gayoso.
Active Lifestyle
In her free time, Dr. Gayoso enjoys spending time with her husband and daughters. As for personal interests, she also enjoys HIIT training and an inviting book.
