Marienhospital Gelsenkirchen Launches Sleep and Respiratory Center
The Marienhospital Gelsenkirchen has expanded its services in the areas of sleep and respiratory care with the launch of the Löwenstein Medical Sleep-Breathing Center. This specialized center, located on Station 7A, is designed to provide comprehensive care for patients suffering from sleep apnea, COPD, asthma, and other chronic lung diseases.
The Sleep-Breathing Center offers a range of diagnostic services, including state-of-the-art sleep studies (polysomnography), to accurately diagnose breathing disturbances and assess the severity of sleep apnea or COPD complications. Treatments may include Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy, non-invasive ventilation for COPD patients, lifestyle advice, and other interventions tailored to individual patient needs.
The center is staffed by a multidisciplinary team of pulmonologists, sleep medicine specialists, respiratory therapists, and nursing staff experienced in managing sleep-related breathing disorders. Emphasis is placed on patient education, adherence to therapy, and regular follow-up to optimize clinical outcomes.
The Sleep-Breathing Center's collaboration with Löwenstein Medical continues to be a key factor in its development and success. Care at the center is provided by Löwenstein Medical staff in close cooperation with the Clinic for Pneumology team, headed by Dr. med. Christoph Tannhof.
The center's launch marks an expansion of services offered by the Marienhospital Gelsenkirchen, bridging the gap between inpatient and outpatient therapy within the hospital. Its location within the hospital allows for seamless integration of care between inpatient and outpatient settings, improving the quality of life for patients with sleep disorders and chronic lung diseases.
