Putting on the nose-mouth mask

Page views: 963 For a basic understanding of the process of putting on the mask, I will first refer you to the manufacturer's instructions and translate the whole thing for you. Attention! The manufacturer's instructions only describe the basic procedure for patients who require ventilation for support and can still breathe independently while the mask is being changed. Since the mask in...

Philips Respironics Amara View Nasal-Mouth Mask

Page views: 924 Let's start with one of my most important tools of all. It is also the tool with which the most mistakes are made, because nobody explains it properly and apparently everyone thinks it will work somehow. From my experience with over 40 intensive care nurses (or supposed intensive care nurses), I can assure you that this is a dangerous fallacy. What...

My tools

Page views: 935 As we have already established, everything always seems to be different for me than for everyone else. I need to be ventilated, but I still opted for mask ventilation. Unfortunately, that puts most people off at first. But it's easy to put the masks on comfortably and accurately. Even without pressure points despite zero leakage. You just have to...

Daily routine / calendar

Page views: 979 If, like me, you are dependent on help for every little thing, no matter how small, a structured daily routine can be enormously helpful, even for a crazy slob like me. Display The current daily schedule is shown on the large portrait-format POI display. You can see everything here: which therapy is due, which doctor is coming when and why, when I...

Medication

Page views: 931 Note: If you don't do everything yourself... I'll rewrite the medication plans as soon as I can find an hour to do it. Because the ones I got from the old nursing service were so wrong. It's an indictment that in eleven months they haven't managed to at least correct this and document it properly. The following medication plans are...

Emergency plan

Pageviews: 999 Yes, I know that there is something like this somewhere in the file of every care service. Theoretically. Maybe even practically. But even then, such plans remain pure theory. They don't work in practice. I've experienced things that you can't imagine. A carer (who doesn't speak German, English, French or Spanish) seriously...

Little things that make me happy

Page views: 1,172 It really doesn't take much to make me happy. As is so often the case, it's the little things that make life more beautiful. My fingers are constantly contracting. Unfortunately, this not only looks like shit and isn't exactly healthy, but it's also uncomfortable. So please stretch my fingers out again at every opportunity. When I...

When we get stuck

Seitenaufrufe: 1,059 So gut vorbereitet, wie wir auch sein mögen, egal, wieviel Zeit wir miteinander verbringen werden, es wird immer Situationen geben, in denen du keinen blassen Schimmer hast, was ich brauche. Beim Schlafen beispielsweise trage ich die Nasen-Mund-Maske. Unter dieser ist es physikalisch unmöglich, ohne eigene Muskelkraft einen Überdruck der Ausatmung zu erzeugen. Ich kann deshalb mit dieser...

Things that must not happen

Pageviews: 998 Some of these things hurt like hell, others are just frustrating or will annoy me to death if I live long enough to be annoyed to death. Still others are directly related to my breathing. They have an immediate effect on everything in my body. There's no room for discussion. What...

Emergency sign

Page views: 949 When all else fails, I communicate directly through my eyes. It is therefore extremely important that you focus exclusively on me in all activities on and with my body. Signs that I use: Rapid eye blinking (eyes close and open constantly) Immediately lay me completely flat on my back with my head to the right. No cleaning....
