CRITICAL CARE

We’ve been caring for patients from throughout Western North Carolina since 1979. Our experienced and Board-certified physicians provide a full range of office- and hospital-based diagnostic and therapeutic services for lung disease, breathing difficulty, persistent coughing, wheezing and sleep disorders.

Patients have the convenience of undergoing testing in the office, including complete pulmonary function analysis, ABGs (arterial blood gases) and chest X-rays.

Asheville Pulmonary’s Critical Care specialists work in the hospital setting, treating patients who require artificial means for breathing or aggressive treatment for infection or shock.

Critical care medicine is the multidisciplinary healthcare specialty that cares for patients with acute, life-threatening illness or injury.

Should you have questions about whether you or a loved one are in need of critical care, please do not hesitate to contact us. If it is an emergency, be sure to direct your call to your community’s emergency center.
