Lung cryotherapy is a medical treatment that uses extremely low temperatures to treat certain lung conditions. The procedure involves inhaling very cold liquid air, usually liquid nitrogen, at a temperature of around -196°C, through a specialized device.

Lung cryotherapy is used to treat conditions such as:

•⁠ ⁠Severe asthma

•⁠ ⁠Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

•⁠ ⁠Pulmonary fibrosis

•⁠ ⁠Lung cancer

Treatment can help:

•⁠ ⁠Reduce inflammation and congestion in the airways

•⁠ ⁠Improve lung function

•⁠ ⁠Relieve symptoms such as cough, shortness of breath, and chest pain

It is important to note that lung cryotherapy should be performed by a trained medical professional and in a controlled environment, as there may be risks associated with the treatment, such as tissue freezing or airway irritation.
