Respiratory Care Services

For respiratory patients, Lea Regional Medical Center offers both diagnostics tests and therapy through its Respiratory Care Services Department.  Functions include arterial blood gas testing, which determines breathing efficiency and provides data for corrective respiratory therapy measures.  Diagnostic tests such as pulmonary function tests, 24-48 hour Holter monitors, sleep studies, and EEG's are also performed. 

The Respiratory Department is also responsible for oxygen administration, medication delivery, and ventilator support in the intensive care areas.  All routines are performed by caring, board certified Respiratory Therapists.

LRMC's Respiratory Department has been recognized by the American Association for Respiratory Care with the Quality Respiratory Care Recognition Award for providing quality respiratory care services to patients and to the community. You can visit www.YourLungHealth.org for more information.
