Of course you visit me

Page views: 1,322 This question is very popular. Am I allowed to 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 arsehole I used to be. Nothing has changed about the fact that I like company and can get anyone into bed. And let's see...

I told you so

Page views: 1,215 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...

If I don't do everything myself

Page views: 1,201 Prepared article, deliberately not up to date. I could have published this article a few days or weeks ago and deliberately decided against it in order 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...

Putting on the nose mask

Page views: 1,060 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...

Description of the individual parts of the nose mask

Page views: 963 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...

ResMed AirFit N20 Classic Nasal Mask

Page views: 1,016 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...

Lose weight

Seitenaufrufe: 1,137 Wenn du Tipps zum Abnehmen brauchst, da habe ich ein paar auf Lager. Mit ALS geht das noch konsequenter als mit den 25 km, die ich vor einiger Zeit noch in 2:35 gelaufen bin. Wie das Abnehmen der Maske funktioniert, erkläre ich im Punkt „Maskenwechsel“.

Putting on the nose-mouth mask

Page views: 975 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: 946 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: 949 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...
