General Info

You may require breathing support if you have airway or lung problems caused by accidental injury, medically complex disease, certain neurological conditions or other disorders. A mechanical ventilator or respirator can support your breathing while you heal after major surgery or during critical illness. At Providence St. Elias Specialty Hospital, we’ll help you and your family to understand your condition, care and procedures. We’ll closely monitor your health and take steps to help you heal so you can regain your ability to breathe independently. Our respiratory team has a high success rate in helping critically ill patients to get better so they can go off ventilators. Whatever your condition, we provide dedicated nursing care and round-the-clock medical attention.
