Respiratory
Our respiratory therapists care for patients with respiratory and cardiopulmonary disorders.

This may include but, not limited to a pulmonary medication regimen along with education, airway clearance modalities, ventilator, tracheotomy and oxygen weaning protocols, lung expansion and coughing techniques, and or pulmonary muscle training.
