Urinary Infections TreatmentTreatment of infections of the urinary system typically includes antibiotics. UltrasoundAn ultrasound, also called sonography, is a diagnostic imaging technique which uses high-frequency sound waves and a computer to create images of blood vessels, tissues and organs. Ultrasounds are used to view internal organs as they function, and to assess blood flow through various vessels. Sleep Disorders TreatmentTreatment of sleep disorders, which are a group of conditions characterized by an inability to have normal, restful sleep. Sleep Apnea EvaluationsSleep apnea is a sleep disorder characterized by pauses in breathing during sleep. The evaluation of sleep apnea may include tests in a sleep laboratory as well as home studies. Gait and Mobility TrainingPhysical therapy for those experiencing problems related to walking and mobiity. CT ScanA computed tomography scan (also called a CT or CAT scan) is a diagnostic imaging procedure that uses a combination of x-rays and computer technology to produce cross-sectional images (often called slices), both horizontally and vertically, of the body. A CT scan shows detailed images of any part of the body, including the bones, muscles, fat and organs. CT scans are more detailed than general x-rays. Critical Care TransportCritical Care Transport takes critically ill patients from one hospital to another for treatment. The mobile unit and its special treatment team respond quickly to calls. Intensive care treatment begins immediately upon arrival at the referring hospital and continues during transport. Asthma Prevention and TreatmentOptions for the prevention and treatment of asthma, which is a chronic respiratory disease, in which the airways unexpectedly and suddenly narrow, often in response to an allergen, cold air, exercise or emotional stress. Treatment of Minor EmergenciesTreatment of minor health-related issues such as minor injuries or illnesses. Newborn CareTreatment received by a newborn child from the date of birth until 30 days following discharge from the hospital. Undescended Testis TreatmentAlso known as cryptoorchidism. A term used to describe testis, which, at birth has not descended into the scrotum as normal. Treatment may include surgery or hormone therapy. Tonsillectomy / AdenoidectomyTonsils are lymph nodes found in the back of the mouth. Adenoids are also tonsils but they are higher up, in the back of the nose. The most common reason for tonsillectomy (removal of the tonsils) and adenoidectomy (removal of the adenoids) is to remove enlarged tonsils and adenoids which block breathing passages. Hypospadias TreatmentTreatment of hypospadias, a congenital malformation in which the urethra opens at the base or beneath the penis. Autism TreatmentAutism is a developmental brain disorder that typically affects a person’s ability to communicate, engage in social interactions, and respond appropriately to the environment. While there is no known cure for autism, there are treatment and education approaches that may reduce some of the challenges associated with the condition. Developmental ScreeningsA procedure designed to identify children who should receive more intensive assessment or diagnosis, for potential developmental delays. It can allow for earlier detection of delays and improve child health and well-being for identified children.
Breathing TestsTests conducted to evaluate your lung function by measuring air flow into and out of the lungs. Adoption CareAdoption medicine involves consultations for families considering adopting a child from either overseas or domestically. Foreign medical records may also be reviewed to address the healthcare needs facing the child and family. Pediatric SurgeryPediatric surgery is the treatment of disease, injury or other disorders in children by direct physical intervention, usually with instruments. Surgery involves the cutting into the skin or other organ to accomplish restoring the body to a healthful state. Newborn Hearing ScreensTrained staff members of the hospital use a procedure called Automated Auditory Brainstem Response (AABR). The screener sends sounds through small earphones which are placed over each ear. Small sensors which are attached to your baby's skin pick up your baby's response from the brain to the sounds he/she hears. Your baby's response to the sounds are analyzed by the screener.
