it's easy to get lost in the overwhelming amount of support data and physiology principles behind & showing how much #mechanicalventilation, lung expansion (recruitment), and secretion clearance + cough with #BCV can help patients. but it's the impact on the daily real life they live that is so powerful. #QOL we take for granted having the ability to deal with an inconvenience as an inconvenience, to those with respiratory conditions it can be an insurmountable obstacle. #respiratorycare or the "mundane" tasks, think about not being able to tidy up or do a chore. what can it mean to someone that could not to have that freedom again? Even with long term supplement oxygen therapy this patient was severely limited in being able to carry on ADLs, 1 day with BCV made this much difference. shared with permission; grateful to this patient for telling her experience. patient consent /formal release obtained. #BreathingShouldBeEasy so you can be free to enjoy and deal with the little things of normal living. physicians with patients with similar limitations despite other therapies have found solutions to helping them maximize their quality of life with BCV, it may make sense to learn more, happy to reply to any messages with any information needed//mc
