The Respiratory Care Department provides the diagnostic testing of
Arterial Blood Gases and Pulmonary Function Screening to determine
lung status of patients scheduled for surgery and those with acute
or chronic respiratory insufficiencies. The department also provides
nebulizer therapy, metered dose inhaler and breathing exercise instruction,
as well as non-invasive pulse oximetry for evaluation of oxygen requirements
in the home.
Outpatients are required to bring a physician prescription indicating
the type of test and reason for the test along with a physician referral,
if needed.
