Respiratory Care

Setup, titration, and ongoing management of supplemental oxygen systems — including concentrators, portable tanks, and liquid oxygen — with safety education for the entire household.

Instruction in diaphragmatic breathing, pursed-lip breathing, and coordinated breathing techniques that reduce air trapping and improve oxygenation during daily activities.

Advanced methods including high-frequency chest wall oscillation, positive expiratory pressure devices, and manual techniques tailored to each patient's respiratory condition.

Oversight of inhaler technique, nebulizer schedules, and oral respiratory medications — ensuring each drug is used correctly and at the right time for maximum effectiveness.
