Respiratory Rehabilitation

Our Respiratory care department provides a range of services for those with breathing difficulties and lung disease. We offer testing and treatment of patients with breathing and other heart-lung disorders such as bronchitis, asthma, respiratory allergies and emphysema. Our respiratory therapist Jade Carabajal, a Registered Respiratory Therapist works closely with our nursing staff at Kearny County Hospital and physicians to coordinate the patient’s respiratory care services.

One of our tools in diagnosing and treating respiratory conditions is a pulmonary function machine. This test is measured by inhaling and exhaling to measure the amount of air the person’s lungs can hold and the ability to get oxygen into the bloodstream. These measures give a picture of how well the lungs are functioning. Our Respiratory Therapist provides services for adults, children and infants in the hospital and in the outpatient setting. Our respiratory therapist monitors your health care needs and assists your healthcare provider in treating your illness.

The function of this Department is to provide all necessary therapeutic and diagnostic modalities for the management of respiratory disorders and complications. Services are provided on an inpatient or outpatient basis.
