Asthma Services
Castle Medical Center has an excellent asthma treatment program that
utilizes standards set by the National Institute of Health. The
program focuses on helping patients manage their asthma through:
- Assessment of the patient’s medications, lung air flow, asthma
symptoms, and triggers
- A consultation with an asthma educator who draws up a treatment plan
that is reviewed by the patient’s physician
- A peak flowmeter to monitor air flow and alert the patient when
medication is necessary
- More asthma information during the emergency room visit
- A follow-up phone call to the patient after an emergency room
visit to check improvement and answer any questions regarding
treatment.
