These services may include aerosol therapy, which is the delivery of aerosol particles into the respiratory system for therapeutic purposes that may remove secretions from the airway, aiding in opening airways so breathing is made easier for patients presenting with such illness as pneumonia, asthma, bronchitis. These services are provided to all patients who may be admitted to our hospital, from infancy to the elderly. A variety of other respiratory services may be ordered in conjunction with the aerosol treatments as deemed necessary by the physician.
