Page views: 1,309 This question is very popular. Can I visit you or are you uncomfortable? In itself, the question is understandable. But hey, I don't necessarily look like that, but I'm still the same complete idiot I used to be. Nothing has changed about the fact that I like company and can get anyone into bed. And let's see...
Page views: 1,202 To quote Sheldon, under normal circumstances I'd say I told you so. But, as I have told you so with such vehemence and frequency already the phrase has lost all meaning. Therefore, I will be replacing it with the phrase, I have informed you thusly. For arse. I'm fucked. Or am I screwed...
Page views: 1,186 Prepared article, deliberately not up to date. I could have published this article a few days or weeks ago and deliberately decided against it to rule out any possible conclusions about the carers on duty at the time. I will clarify this with the QM and QB of the nursing service, but certainly not here. But the background is necessary for the story, otherwise...
Page views: 1,043 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. As 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...
Seitenaufrufe: 940 Wie bei allen zitierten Herstelleranleitungen werde ich auch hier beizeiten um Erlaubnis bitten, bedanke mich aber schon im Vorfeld dafür. Die Nasenmaske kann zum Reinigen auseinandergebaut werden (siehe Abschnitt „Auseinanderbau“). Wenn der Schlauch straff gespannt ist – was nie so sein soll, aber täglich passiert – dann fällt die Nasenmaske aber auch schon mal im aufgesetzten Zustand...
Page views: 997 I wear the nose mask during the day. It makes me feel safe and allows me to communicate at least partially orally. In addition to allowing me to eat and drink, the nose mask has another decisive advantage over the nose-mouth mask. By opening my mouth and palate, I can build up positive pressure in my throat, which I can use to...
Page views: 1,123 If you need tips on losing weight, I have a few in store. With ALS it's even more consistent than with the 25 kilometres I ran in 2:35 a while ago. I explain how to remove the mask in the section „Changing the mask“.
Page views: 964 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...
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...
