• Aspiration Pneumonia
• Asthma

  Asthma

  Asthma is a long-term (chronic) lung disease. The airways react to triggers (allergens and irritants). This makes it hard to breathe. With exposure to triggers, these changes make the airways narrow. It is hard for air to go out of the lungs. And fresh oxygen can't get into the body.

• Bronchitis

  Chronic Bronchitis

  Chronic bronchitis is long-term inflammation of the breathing tubes (bronchi). It is common among smokers. People with chronic bronchitis tend to get lung infections more easily. They also have episodes of acute bronchitis, when symptoms are worse.

• Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia
• Central and/or obstructive sleep apnea

  Obstructive Sleep Apnea

  Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when your breathing stops briefly during sleep. This can occur when something is blocking your airway. The stopped breathing can occur many times a night causing snoring, and daytime fatigue.

• Chest Pain

  Angina Pectoris

  Angina pectoris (or simply angina) is chest pain or discomfort that keeps coming back. It happens when some part of your heart doesn't get enough blood and oxygen. Angina can be a symptom of coronary artery disease (CAD).

• Chronic Lung Disease

  Chronic Respiratory Disorders

  Many pediatric chronic respiratory disorders require clinical care by a doctor or other health care professional. These conditions include: Tuberculosis, Asthma, Cystic Fibrosis, Chronic Lung Disease (Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia) and Lung Transplants.

• Cystic Fibrosis

  Cystic Fibrosis

  Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited life-threatening disease that affects many organs. People with CF have problems with the glands that make sweat and mucus.

• Exercise-Induced Asthma

  Asthma and Exercise

  For some, exercise, and other things, cause asthma symptoms. For others, asthma symptoms only happen with exercise or physical activity. In either case, the term to describe the condition is exercise-induced bronchoconstriction or EIB. (It used to be called exercise-induced asthma.) It means that exercise causes the airways or bronchi to narrow or constrict.

• Frequent Pneumonia

  Pneumonia

  Pneumonia is an infection of one or both of the lungs caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or chemical irritants. It is a serious infection or inflammation in which the air sacs fill with pus and other liquid.

• Home Ventilator
• Hypoventilation syndrome (Neuromuscular disease)
• Infant Apnea

  Apnea of Prematurity

  Apnea is a term that means breathing has stopped for more than 20 seconds. It can happen in full-term babies, but it is more common in premature babies. The more premature the baby, the greater the chances that apnea will occur.

• Interstitial Lung Disease

  Interstitial Lung Disease

  Interstitial lung disease is the name for a group of more than 200 chronic lung disorders. These diseases inflame or scar the lungs. The inflammation and scarring make it hard to get enough oxygen. The scarring is called pulmonary fibrosis.

• Noisy Breathing
• Obesity-hypoventilation/Pickwickian syndrome

  Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome in Children

  Obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) is a breathing problem. It affects some children who are obese. Poor breathing causes too much carbon dioxide and too little oxygen in the blood. This is a rare but life-threatening issue. Your child will need treatment right away.

• Shortness of Breath
• Sleep Apnea

  Sleep Apnea

  Sleep apnea is a breathing disorder characterized by brief interruptions of breathing during sleep. Sleep apnea is a serious, potentially life-threatening condition. It is far more common than generally understood. Sleep apnea happens in all age groups and both genders.

• Supplemental Oxygen

  Primary Pulmonary Hypertension (PPH)

  Primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH) is high blood pressure in the lungs. It's a rare lung disorder in which the blood vessels in the lungs narrow and the pressure in the pulmonary artery rises far above normal levels. Pulmonary hypertension is a chronic and life-changing disease that can lead to heart failure if it's not treated.

• Using or need CPAP or BIPAP

  BiPap

  Some medical problems can make it hard for you to breathe. In these cases, you might benefit from <strong>bilevel positive airway pressure</strong>. It is commonly known as &#8220;BiPap&#8221; or &#8220;BPap.&#8221; It is a type of ventilator - a device that helps with breathing.
