Page views: 1,043 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...
Page views: 1,074 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: 1,012 The headband is adjusted once on the pattern of the old mask. After that, no more changes are made to the top strap („crown strap“) or the upper straps unless I say so. The Velcro fasteners are also not touched for washing! The straps can be released from their anchorage without having to open the Velcro fasteners. On the...
Seitenaufrufe: 1,044 Zum Vorgang des Aufsetzens der Maske verweise ich für ein grundlegendes Verständnis erst einmal an die Anleitung des Herstellers und übersetze das Ganze für dich. 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...
Seitenaufrufe: 1,027 Fangen wir doch gleich mit einem meiner wichtigsten Hilfsmittel überhaupt an. Es ist zugleich das Hilfsmittel, bei dem am meisten falsch gemacht wird, weil es niemand richtig erklärt und offenbar jeder denkt es wird schon irgendwie funktionieren. Aus der Erfahrung mit über 40 Intensivpflegekräften (oder vermeintlichen Intensivpflegekräften) kann ich versichern, dass es ein gefährlicher Trugschluss ist. Was...
Page views: 1,007 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...
Page views: 1,085 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...
Page views: 995 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...
Pageviews: 1,067 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...
Page views: 1,284 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...
