Breathing is an essential part of life, and it’s highly disruptive
to daily life when you you’re dealing with a respiratory condition.
Our pulmonology services at Kern Medical can help you breathe easier.
Our highly trained specialists are experts in preventive and treatment
therapies to make sure our pulmonology care patients are making the most
of their lung power. They are also highly skilled in emergency problems
such as respiratory distress, shock respiratory failure, and trauma. And
we care for patients in managing and treating chronic lung problems including
asthma, bronchitis, COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), emphysema,
and sleep apnea.
We are skilled at treating ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome),
cystic fibrosis, interstitial lung disease, lung cancer, lung transplants,
occupational lung disease, pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary tuberculosis,
sarcoidosis of the lungs, and SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome).
To increase our efficiency and effectiveness, Kern Medical is dedicated
to departmental cross-training of therapists in cardiac diagnostics, pulmonary
function testing, and electroencephalogram (EEG) use. Our respiratory
therapy division is responsible for organizing and instructing Kern Medical’s
adult and pediatric advanced life support training programs. We offer
the latest in modern lifesaving and emergency respiratory equipment.
In our multidisciplinary environment, we combine our expertise to work
closely and collaboratively with cardiology, thoracic surgery, medical
and radiation oncology, physical therapy, social work, neurology, nutrition,
and psychology.
