Helping you breathe better.

Respiratory Therapists provide diagnostic and interventional support for patients who are or may be suffering from a respiratory condition.

Inpatient therapy

Respiratory Therapy helps manage inpatient care at CMH, including:

• Giving medications through a nebulizer (fine mist) or other inhalers
• Managing high flow oxygen therapy for respiratory failure, post-operative recovery, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and more
• Chest physiotherapy to clear mucus and secretions from the lungs
• Monitoring breathing on a ventilator
• Educating on smoking sensation and inhaler use

Outpatient therapy

Complete Pulmonary Function Testing (PFT) is available to assist in diagnosing a wide range of respiratory diseases, including:

• Asthma
• COPD
• Neuromuscular disorders

Pulmonary Function Testing can also be used to qualify a patient for home oxygen, provide a pre-employment screening for certain occupations, or provide clearance for surgery.

Our Respiratory Therapy team delivers fast, accurate results with professional, patient focused care. Talk to your primary care provider about completing your PFT at CMH.
