Cardiopulmonary care combines the expertise of cardiology and respiratory professionals, state-of-the-art diagnostic techniques, the latest treatments, and proven rehabilitation to care for people with conditions affecting the heart and lungs.
When diagnosing cardiopulmonary conditions, testing is often required to determine where the problem lies and how to treat it effectively. Cardiology technicians perform various noninvasive procedures using electrocardiograms (EKGs), stress testing and echocardiography. Respiratory therapists administer pulmonary function studies, arterial blood gas procedures and pulse oximetry.
Living with cardiopulmonary conditions often requires adjustment. Returning patients to an active lifestyle, cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation coordinators incorporate education, medication, nutrition and exercise into progressive care programs for inpatients and outpatients.
Our cardiopulmonary care team is certified in American Medical Association (AMA) accredited programs that provide instruction, evaluation and treatment for adult and pediatric patients who require routine or critical care. Every staff member has a diverse knowledge base and is cross-trained in trauma, emergency, neonatal, pediatric and geriatric cardiopulmonary procedures.
