Pediatric Respiratory Care

Appropriate lung function is vital for pediatric patients who have chronic or acute respiratory conditions. It is important for these children and their families to understand and manage their conditions.

Our respiratory care personnel can provide education and monitoring of pulmonary function while patients are in the hospital. They work with your primary physician and pulmonologist to provide thorough and ongoing evaluation of lung status. Here are some of the services our specialists provide:

• Physical exams using diagnostic equipment
• Appropriate medications
• Appropriate medication delivery system/assitive breathing devices
• Education on documenting respiratory function at home
• Long term management care for chronic condition patients
• Emergency training
• Smoking cessation

If your child is having difficulty breathing you should call 911 immediately!
