Healthcare's ventilation therapy presents a team approach to
care. In some instances, having the coordinated efforts of a
pulmonary expert, respiratory therapist and dedicated rehabilitation
staff can wean even patients whose prognosis seem permanent.
By adjusting medicines, oxygen levels, breathing techniques
and exercise into a cohesive plan, we've found that most patients
can stabilize and return to ventilator-free living sooner.
This extra
level of attention, including the routine pulmonologist rounds
in the unit, has improved the odds of recovery dramatically.
When returning to independence is the goal, having experts on
hand who understand each discipline and work together really
does make a difference.
