Effective Ways of Asthma Treatment

Thursday, December 17th, 2009

There are two types of treatment: quick-relief medicines used to
stop attacks (emergency treatment) and long-term control medication to
prevent symptoms. The most common therapy is the inhalator therapy -
bronchodilators and corticosteroids. It should be acknowledged as an
early treatment rather than a last stage rescue treatment.

Inhalers
contain low doses of drugs that go straight to the lungs and have very
few side-effects. Thus, inhalers are suitable for long term treatment,
without causing any adverse effects on the body. They are are not
addictive, and this type of treatment may be used throughout the
individual’s entire life.. As we know, asthma is a chronic disease so
there are no known cures for it yet.

The best long-term treatment
uses anti-inflammatory medication. By reducing the inflammation in the
airways you become less sensitive to asthma triggers. They are most
effective if you take them every day even if you are symptom free.

Inhaled
long-acting beta2agonists are customarily taken with inhaled
corticosteroid to prevent symptoms. They do not work as well taken
alone and should not be used to stop attacks. A 2 in 1 formula
containing corticosteroid and beta2agonists is now available on the
market.

A List of Questions For Your Respite Care Agency

Tuesday, December 30th, 2008

Respite care agencies are not all one and the same. Even though this axiom ought to come as no shock, it is often overlooked in the rush for care relief. In fact, diverse variants exist in both form of care provided and quality of care. It is prudent for you to ask a number of comprehensive questions about the home care you are about contract for. I suggest you draw up a list of questions to ask care agencies before you have the urgent need for one. Here are some to include.

Does the agency require patients be eligible for Medicaid? Only a few agencies actually make this prerequisite, however it is good to know ahead of time. If your loved one is ineligible, an agency may terminate care at any time, even if alternate payment is in place.

Is there is a waiting list and if so, how long is it? Even if your funding is approved, many of the more preferred agencies will put you on a waiting list for respite care services. Lists are usually not too long, but you may be better off finding another agency.

Ask in detail about funding. Respite care agencies will differently process billing tasks and costs with respite care provided for young children, minors, or senior citizens.

What services are made available by the respite care agency? Some agencies put forward respite care as one element of patient care, whilst offering certified nursing help, home health nursing, and home health hospice care along with the service. Contracting for respite care with these multiple service agencies permits you to try your eligibility for other services.

What background check information does the agency require for it’s respite care workers? Some agencies’ checks are quite extensive, with criminal and financial background checks, while others simply run educational and employment background checks.

Pressure Ulcer Nurse Explains

Sunday, October 26th, 2008

A few months back, I received another set of medical records to review and analyze for a great attorney-client of mine. It was a case about a stage IV pressure ulcer (also known as decubitus ulcers) that a patient had developed during a hospital stay.

Sounds familiar doesn’t it? They all do.

But there was something very different about this case.

As a nurse, I have reviewed thousands and thousands of medical records; and when I started my review of this large stack of medical records, I noticed that there were great photos in there!

Now, I don’t mean great photos as when you go to an amusement park, because these were photos of a stage IV pressure ulcer (the worst type of pressure ulcer you can develop!). I mean these were great photos because they painted the story of what really happened.

Most healthcare facilities; depending on their protocols, have now resorted to using photography as another way to document pressure ulcers. Photographing pressure ulcers in different stages, can be very helpful and beneficial to the healthcare providers because the may be able to determine if the pressure ulcer is healing, getting worse, or if it has remained unchanged.

But there are also disadvantages when photographing pressure ulcers.

The healthcare provider needs to remain consistent and continue to photograph the wound per protocol. An occasional photograph of the wound usually has no benefit.

Photographs of pressure ulcer that are taken too closely or from a distance may be difficult to use to assess the site. Photographs that are not timed and dated can de difficult to match up with the written portion of the documentation that describes the wound. Also, the location of the pressure ulcer must be documented on the photo; especially if the patient has wounds in different part of the body.

So, what was the real story that these great photographs revealed? The photos in the medical record I was reviewing and analyzing became the “unwritten” timeline that perfectly showed us in full-color how this pressure ulcer came about. Needless to say, my attorney’s client was very pleased at the final outcome of this case! Great pressure ulcer documentation through photography can be beneficial to either the plaintiff or the defense.
