Respiratory Therapy

Better Breathing is Possible –
Sooner than you think!

NVRH Licensed and credentialed respiratory therapists provide excellent diagnostic and therapeutic services so you can breathe better. Plus, NVRH Respiratory Therapy has wide availability, so you may be able to be seen in days (for certain tests) rather than weeks or months at larger organizations. Tell your primary care provider to schedule your test at NVRH.

Beathing easier may be as simple as learning deep breathing exercise or as complex as invasive mechanical ventilation (life support). Available to both inpatients and outpatients, Respiratory Therapy works on any patient (age 5+) that is having difficulty breathing.

NVRH Respiratory therapists treat asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis, and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), and post COVID lung concerns. They also provide emergency care to patients who are victims of a heart attack, stroke, near drowning, or traumatic injury.

Services

All respiratory testing and procedures require an order from your physician. It is also important to note that each test or procedure may require different preparation. Your physician or Respiratory Care Practitioner will give you the necessary instructions for your particular test.
