Asthma Relief Only from Mount Carmel
A new procedure for asthma patients you'll find only at Mount Carmel. Bronchial Thermoplasty, now offered at Mount Carmel East and West, was recently approved by the FDA and promises improved quality of life, reductions in asthma attacks, ER visits, hospitalizations, and days lost from work, school and play. The new procedure is offered by Mount Carmel pulmonologists Dr. Roy St. John (Columbus Pulmonary and Critical Care) and Dr. James Klein (Columbus Pulmonary Associates, Inc.). Bronchial thermoplasty is a bronchoscopic procedure performed in three minimally invasive outpatient visits. It uses thermal energy to reduce the presence of smooth muscle that narrows the airways in people with asthma. Asthma accounts for about 2 million emergency visits in the US each year. Dr. Roy St. John explains to NBC 4's Ellie Merritt how bronchial thermoplasty could help one of our first young adult patients to gain better control over her disease, and invites Ellie into the procedure room at Mount Carmel West to demonstrate how it works.Asthma — Comprehensive overview covers symptoms, treatment of this
