Patients are referred to the Asthma Clinic by pediatricians in the hospital and the community, emergency department providers, and other pediatric specialists. Inpatients seen in consultation by the pulmonary attending may also require outpatient follow-up in this clinic. Comprehensive pulmonary testing is provided by the Diagnostic Pulmonary Laboratory. Experienced pulmonary nurses and respiratory therapists facilitate home care by performing extensive patient/family instruction in the disease process, the appropriate use of rescue and maintenance medications and administration, inhaled medication delivery devices and spacers, and other equipment.
