Page views: 964 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. In my case, for example, since the mask is necessary for life support, we have to reconnect the tube much earlier and my ventilator is never switched off. This one...

Page views: 941 As with all manufacturer instructions quoted, I will ask for permission in good time, but I would like to thank you in advance. The nose mask can be disassembled for cleaning (see section „Disassembly“). If the hose is stretched tight - which should never be the case, but happens every day - the nose mask can sometimes fall when it is put on...
Seitenaufrufe: 998 Tagsüber trage ich die Nasenmaske. Sie gibt mir ein sicheres Gefühl und erlaubt mir zumindest eine teilweise mündliche Kommunikation. Die Nasenmaske hat neben der weiteren Möglichkeit zu essen und zu trinken noch einen anderen, ganz entscheidenden Vorteil gegenüber der Nasen-Mund-Maske. Durch Öffnen von Mund und Gaumen kann ich einen Überdruck im Hals aufbauen, über den ich Sekret...
Seitenaufrufe: 970 Das Kopfband wird einmalig am Muster der jeweils alten Maske eingestellt. Danach werden am obersten Band („crown strap“) sowie an den oberen Bändern keine Änderungen mehr durchgeführt, außer, ich sage es. Auch zum Waschen werden die Klettverschlüsse nicht angefasst! Die Bänder lassen sich dafür extra aus der Verankerung lösen, ohne die Klettverschlüsse öffnen zu müssen. Auf dem...

Since the mask in...
Page views: 925 Let's start with one of my most important tools of all. It is also the tool where 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...
Seitenaufrufe: 936 Wie wir schon festgestellt haben, bei mir scheint immer alles anders zu sein als bei allen anderen. Ich bin beatmungspflichtig, habe mich aber trotzdem für die Maskenbeatmung entschieden. Das schreckt die meisten leider erst einmal ab. Dabei ist es easy, die Masken bequem und passgenau aufzusetzen. Sogar ohne Druckstellen trotz null Leckage. Es muss einem nur mal...
Page views: 981 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...
