It’s Pulmonary Rehabilitation Week let’s talk about what it is. 🫁 “Pulmonary rehabilitation is a program of education and exercise to increase awareness about your lungs and your disease. You will learn to achieve exercise with less shortness of breath. The classes are offered in a group setting so you get the chance to meet others with your condition, which provides an opportunity to give and receive peer support. The skills and knowledge learned in the program will help you feel better and manage your chronic lung disease. You’ll become stronger by increasing your level of fitness. Exercising your lungs and your muscles helps you be more active so you can do the things you enjoy with your loved ones. Pulmonary rehabilitation may even decrease the need for hospital visits.” American Lung Association #Sarcoidosis #raresisease #patientadvovate #sarcoidosisadvocate #pulmonaryrehabweek

In the Know Seated Pulmonary Artery Pressure Monitoring in Patients With Heart Failure Results of the PROACTIVE-HF Trial https://lnkd.in/e5SepACr

Imagine you need to train on how to monitor and care for a patient with respiratory distress. You don’t have a real patient to practice on, but you have the Rigel Uni-Sim, a handheld and battery-operated vital signs simulator that can simulate six synchronised vital signs parameters: NiBP, SpO2, ECG, temperature, IBP and respiration. The Rigel Uni-Sim can be programmed to simulate a patient with a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This condition causes difficulty breathing and low oxygen levels in the blood. You can set the Rigel Uni-Sim to simulate vital signs parameters for this patient.
