什么是呼吸护理?

Respiratory (breathing) care tends to the health of your cardiopulmonary (heart and lung) function. 你的心脏和肺是紧密相连的. 它们一起工作，将氧气输送到身体的各个部位.

You’ll receive respiratory care from licensed and trained professionals called respiratory therapists. Respiratory therapists work as part of your health care team to provide cardiopulmonary and critical care services. They specialize in diagnosing, treating and preventing heart and lung problems.

诊断肺功能

We help you find out how well your lungs and airways work using a variety of diagnostic tests. 我们的呼吸治疗师认为:

如果你有任何呼吸系统问题或肺部疾病
你的病有多严重，治疗效果如何
如果某些手术可能会对你的肺造成伤害
根据你的环境或工作，你未来患肺部疾病的风险

肺功能检查

We check your lung function and diagnose lung diseases with pulmonary function tests. We do these tests both in critical care hospital settings and at our outpatient pulmonary function lab.

我们的呼吸治疗师提供广泛的测试，例如:

肺活量测定(你能吸入和呼出多少空气)
肺容量测试(肺内有多少空气)
扩散能力测试(氧气如何进入血液)
运动测试(心肺功能如何随活动变化)
夜间血氧饱和度(血液中的含氧量)研究

血气检查

At UCLA Santa Monica Medical Center, we offer arterial blood gas tests at our Blood Gas Lab. 动脉血气测试能告诉我们更多关于肺工作的信息. They check the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in your blood and your blood’s acidity level (pH balance).

支气管镜检查

Our highly trained respiratory therapists assist your doctor in bronchoscopy. 支气管镜检查时, 你的医生用的是薄的, 带有摄像头的柔性管可以观察你的肺和气道. The procedure helps our team identify and also treat respiratory conditions.

呼吸治疗师治疗的疾病

Respiratory therapists work to make your cardiopulmonary function as good as possible. We provide world-class care for people of all ages, helping to diagnose and treat:

Critical and life-threatening illnesses, such as blocked airways, chest trauma or heart failure
影响肺部和呼吸道的疾病, 比如哮喘, 慢性阻塞性肺病(COPD)和囊性纤维化
心脏疾病，经常与肺部问题一起发展

Breathing medications, such as drugs that widen the airways (bronchodilators)
Lung expansion therapy, such as using positive pressure devices, to improve your lung capacity

重症监护呼吸治疗

You’ll find advanced respiratory care throughout UCLA Health’s intensive care units (ICUs). Specialized respiratory therapists in each unit work in close collaboration with your doctor. We help guide your treatment plan and make sure all members of your care team are on the same page.

For serious respiratory problems, we may recommend procedures that help you breathe. 我们采用先进的气道管理技术, which place devices or tubes in your airways to create a clear pathway to the lungs. We also use mechanical ventilation using an endotracheal (through nose or mouth to windpipe) or tracheostomy tube (through neck to windpipe).

我们为您的心脏、肺和呼吸道提供全面的护理:

介入肺脏学项目

Specialists at our 介入肺脏学项目 offer a full range of minimally invasive procedures to diagnose and treat respiratory problems. 我们经常看到有人收到令人担忧的诊断测试结果. Our respiratory therapists work with skilled doctors to do advanced testing, 包括支气管镜检查和活检.

我们通常在门诊进行介入治疗. Our minimally invasive procedures allow for shorter recovery times than traditional (open) surgery. 我们的专长是:

气道支架: 我们使用支架来扩大和支持你的气道通道. They help treat blockages, airway weaknesses and fistulas (abnormal connections between passages).

支气管热成型术: 这种疗法利用热能来预防哮喘发作.

支气管镜的短程疗法: 放射治疗的一种形式, brachytherapy uses precise radiation exposure to treat tumors in the airways.

冷热疗法: Heat therapies (such as laser) and cold therapies (such as cryospray) treat narrow airways or tumors in the airways.

隧道胸膜(肺衬)导管: We place catheters (tubes) in your chest to drain fluid buildup around the lungs.
