Respiratory care in alternative settings refers to the diagnosis, treatment, and management of respiratory disorders in non-hospital environments. ✔️ https://bit.ly/3eJ2fD4

COPD patients NEED this!!! I’ve seen firsthand how the right respiratory therapy solutions can make a world of difference for both patients and staff. One game-changing device for Skilled Nursing Facilities is the AffloVest. Here’s why SNFs are choosing the AffloVest for their residents with Lincare: 🔹 **Portability & Independence**: Unlike traditional HFCWO (high-frequency chest wall oscillation) devices, the AffloVest is lightweight, battery-operated, and portable. Residents can continue their therapy while moving freely, empowering them to stay active and independent. 🔹 **Enhanced Mucus Clearance**: For patients with COPD, bronchiectasis, or other chronic respiratory issues, the AffloVest helps mobilize and clear mucus from the lungs, reducing the risk of infections and hospital readmissions. 🔹 **Staff Efficiency**: The ease of use means that residents can manage their therapy with minimal assistance, freeing up valuable time for staff to focus on other aspects of care. 🔹 **Improved Patient Outcomes**: With consistent therapy, patients can experience fewer respiratory complications, leading to better long-term health and quality of life. At Lincare, we are committed to providing solutions that help improve both patient care and operational efficiency in SNFs. If you’re looking to learn more about the AffloVest or other respiratory solutions for your facility, feel free to reach out. Let’s work together to enhance the respiratory health of your residents! #Lincare #LongTermCare #RespiratoryHealth #SNF #AffloVest #PatientCare #RespiratoryTherapy #HealthcareInnovation

Over the last two decades AARC has partnered with the Centers for Disease Control and Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response to train clinicians on the role of the respiratory therapist in mass casualty care and the ventilators in the strategic national stockpile. All in anticipation of a mass respiratory failure event. COVID-19 tested this preparation and challenged the worlds health care system. Shortages of staff, PPE, ICU beds and ventilators strained even the most prepared institutions. Hospitals were required to improvise on the fly. Staffing models were created and the use of travelers became routine. The use of PPE amongst shortages placed caregivers at risk, challenging the duty to work paradigm. The role of the respiratory therapist evolved. New treatments were devised, tested and either adopted or abandoned. There were 3 types of ventilators in the stockpile (a total of approximately 14,000 ventilators). During the COVID pandemic, this number ballooned, with the addition of approximately 150,000 ventilators (over a dozen new models- 2 of the 3 original devices were scrapped). These challenges and the responses as well as future planning will be discussed in this symposium.

Chronic lung conditions - such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), asthma, and pulmonary fibrosis - significantly affect patients’ quality of life, limiting their ability to perform daily activities and increasing the risk of hospitalizations. Home health care offers a patient-centered approach that allows individuals with chronic lung conditions to receive comprehensive care in the comfort of their own homes.

Understanding Respiratory Failure: A Guide for Paramedics Respiratory failure is a life-threatening condition that requires prompt recognition and intervention. As frontline responders, paramedics play a crucial role in identifying and managing respiratory failure to prevent serious complications and save lives. This comprehensive guide delves into the two primary types of respiratory failure—hypoxic and hypercarbic—explaining their differences, signs and symptoms, and appropriate corrective measures. By mastering these skills, paramedics can provide essential care to patients in respiratory distress and significantly improve health outcomes in their communities.
