CARDIO-PULMONARY DEPARTMENT

The focus of Tri-State’s Cardio-Pulmonary Department (formerly Respiratory Therapy) is to diagnose and treat respiratory and cardiac conditions.

For example, when you are referred to the Cardio-Pulmonary Department, you may be given a Pulmonary Function Test to diagnose and determine the severity of your lung condition. This is a simple breathing test where you will blow into a mouthpiece and a computer will measure your lung volume and airflow speed.

Other inpatient and outpatient services provided by our certified therapists include:

• Cardiac Holter monitoring 24-hour/48-hour and 30-day

• Electrocardiograms

• In-house Arterial Blood Gas Analysis

• Breathing exercises

• COPD education

If you have questions, or if your doctor has prescribed a cardio-pulmonary procedure, call Tri-State’s Cardio-Pulmonary Department at 509.758.4655.
