Casa Colina Hospital’s Respiratory Therapy team provides specialized
medical and rehabilitative care to help patients with cardio-pulmonary
issues manage their symptoms and improve strength and conditioning.
Our Respiratory Care Practitioners (RCPs) are the reason Healthgrades gave
Casa Colina Hospital its Pulmonary Care Excellence Award, which recognizes
superior outcomes in treating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
and pneumonia, as well as Five Stars for “Treatment of Pneumonia,”
indicating our clinical outcomes for patients with pneumonia are significantly
better than expected.
Casa Colina’s dedicated RCPs provide the following inpatient services:
Airway management, including endotracheal intubation and tracheostomy
Ventilator management—which includes our ventilator weaning program
in collaboration with pulmonologists and critical care physicians—for
patients in both the acute or rehabilitation settings
Bedside procedures, including bronchoscopy and percutaneous tracheostomy
BIPAP/ CPAP management and education, including sleep apnea testing
Management and education for patients and families regarding oxygen therapy,
breathing treatments, medication, equipment, and breathing techniques
to maximize strengthening and rehabilitation
Additional cardio-pulmonary services, including EKG, Holter monitoring,
and blood gas analysis
Our respiratory therapy team also provides emergency response to all patient
emergencies, both inpatient and outpatient, and supports outpatients in
our Pulmonology Clinic when needed.
