Chest Care
Chest Care
Our specialized chest care program at Newro Neuro-Rehabilitation Center is dedicated to providing advanced and compassionate care for individuals requiring ventilator support, oxygenation, and specialized management of airway secretions. We employ a comprehensive VOST protocol (Ventilator, Oxygenation, Secretions, Tube) to ensure a holistic approach to respiratory care.
Ventilator Support and Oxygenation:
Our respiratory care team is equipped to handle various respiratory needs, including: 1. Ventilator Support:
– Comprehensive management for individuals requiring mechanical ventilation.
– Adjustment of ventilator settings based on individual respiratory needs and progression.
2. Oxygenation:
– Continuous monitoring and optimization of oxygen levels to ensure adequate oxygenation.
– Individualized oxygen therapy plans to meet specific patient requirements.
Secretion Management:
Effective secretion management is crucial for maintaining airway patency and preventing respiratory complications. Our program includes:
1. Airway Clearance Techniques:
– Utilization of techniques such as chest physiotherapy and cough-assist devices to facilitate the removal of respiratory secretions.
2. Suctioning Protocols:
– Implementation of safe and efficient suctioning protocols to manage excessive secretions and maintain airway hygiene.
Tube Management:
For individuals with an artificial airway, proper tube management is essential. Our specialized care includes:
1. Endotracheal Tube Management:
– Continuous monitoring and care for individuals with endotracheal tubes, ensuring secure placement and optimal function.
2. Tracheostomy Management:
– Comprehensive care for individuals with tracheostomies, including tube changes, site care, and monitoring for potential complications.
VOST Protocol (Ventilator, Oxygenation, Secretions, Tube):
Our VOST protocol integrates all aspects of respiratory care, ensuring a coordinated and efficient approach:
1. Ventilator Management:
– Regular assessment and adjustment of ventilator settings to match the patient’s respiratory needs.
2. Oxygenation Optimization:
– Continuous monitoring and adjustment of oxygen levels to maintain optimal oxygenation.
3. Secretion Management Strategies:
– Tailored approaches to manage and clear airway secretions effectively.
4. Tube Care and Monitoring:
– Regular evaluation and care for artificial airways, including endotracheal tubes and tracheostomies.
Safe Decannulation and Rehabilitation:
Our goal is to facilitate safe decannulation for individuals with artificial airways. This involves a comprehensive approach:
1. Deflation Trials:
– Gradual deflation of the tracheostomy cuff to assess the patient’s ability to breathe independently.
2. Speaking Valve Trials:
– Introduction of speaking valves to facilitate vocalization and assess readiness for decannulation.
3. Blocking Trials:
– Progressive trials to assess the patient’s tolerance to breathing through the upper airway.
