Removing the nose mask

Seitenaufrufe: 1,006 Achtung! Die Anleitung des Herstellers beschreibt nur die grundsätzliche Vorgehensweise für Patienten, die die Beatmung zur Unterstützung benötigen und noch selbständig atmen können während die Maske gewechselt wird. Da die Maske in meinem Fall lebenserhaltend notwendig ist, müssen wir bei mir beispielsweise den Schlauch viel früher wieder anschließen und meine Beatmungsmaschine wird auch niemals ausgeschaltet. Die hier...

Putting on the nose mask

Page views: 1,135 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 is necessary for life support in my case, for example, we have to reconnect the tube much earlier and my ventilator is never switched off. This one...

Description of the individual parts of the nose mask

Page views: 1,022 As with all manufacturer instructions quoted, I will ask for permission in good time, but I would like to thank you in advance.

Philips Respironics Amara View Nasal-Mouth Mask

Page views: 1,010 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: 992 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: 1,061 If, like me, you are dependent on outside help for every little thing, no matter how small, a structured daily routine can be enormously helpful, even for a crazy slob like me.
