Pediatric Respiratory Services
We offer a wide range of pediatric respiratory services, including administering treatments prescribed by Cleveland Clinic Children's specialists for sudden respiratory illnesses or in the emergency care of children in shock or in need of life support.
We see pediatric patients at Cleveland Clinic Main Campus in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), at Cleveland Clinic Children's Hospital for Rehabilitation, and on hospital floors.
Respiratory services are referred by Pulmonologists, Allergists and Otolaryngologists.
Cleveland Clinic was one of the first hospitals to develop guidelines for respiratory care, which was established to ensure that patients receive the best possible, most appropriate therapy.
Our Respiratory Consult service has become a point of reference for other respiratory therapy departments across the country.
Respiratory therapists in the Pediatric Institute play an integral role in making recommendations and delivering outstanding pediatric patient care, working with physicians and nurses to provide the appropriate level of respiratory therapy for each child.
Our team provides 24-hour coverage of children with respiratory needs in any area of the hospital.
