Pulmonary Rehab
Our pulmonary rehab services include a focus on respiratory therapy for the assessment and treatment of breathing disorders. Breathing problems often occur in chronic lung problems such as asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cystic fibrosis, and as a result of various heart conditions.
Pulmonary Rehab
Syracuse Area Health has respiratory therapists on staff to provide respiratory care services including therapeutic and diagnostic testing for hospital inpatients and outpatients with respiratory disease. The tests allow us to determine how much air your lungs can hold, how quickly you are capable of moving air in and out of your lungs, and how well your lungs remove carbon dioxide from your blood.
Cardio Diagnostic Techniques
The cardio aspect of these services include diagnostic techniques including:
- Electrocardiogram (EKG)
- 24 hour cardiac monitor
- 30 day cardiac event recorder
- Treadmill or chemical stress tests are performed here in conjunction with mobile nuclear medicine services from both Nebraska Heart Institute and Bryan Heart. Stress tests are performed upon provider order and nuclear images are read by a cardiologist.
Get started with cardiac rehab: Contact your cardiologist, primary care provider, or Rachel Werner in the CMH Cardiac Rehab Office at (402) 269-7615.
