Keep the good ideas coming so that I can make another post just like this!) So before I begin with my top 10, I want to say a huge “THANK YOU!” to all my patients and Facebook followers who messaged me and sent me pictures of their hack and tricks that help them in their daily life of living with a lung condition. I was flooded with ideas but only wanted to choose 10, so if you like these hacks email me and let me know your life hack. So I had an epiphany… are there life hacks for the lung patient? Surely there are… so I set out asking my Facebook followers and pulmonary rehab patients, “What is a life hack that you do to make living with a lung condition easier?” I have to say it sparked a lot of conversation and my patients really go into it! (It was also really fun for me to brainstorm and see the results of creative thinking. As a busy wife and mom of 3, I am most enthusiastic about the things that I can do around the house to help me with organization and keeping things straight.
Pinterest is inundated with these simple “life hacks” and I really get a kick out of reading them. It will not interfere with oxygen flow.I don’t know about you guys but I love it when I find a dual purpose for things around the house or a simple trick to make life easier. It will also prevent dangerous falls and injuries. This keeps the tubing from getting tangled around items in the home. The line is simply inserted inside a standard oxygen tube. In turn, he was inspired to develop the No Kink Oxygen Tube!Īlthough it may look like a conventional oxygen line used in a home healthcare environment, the interior of the hose is provided with a hardened, monofilament nylon line. The idea was born after seeing his wife trip and fall when her oxygen tube coiled around her chair. Transtracheal jet ventilation (TTJV) through a percutaneously inserted intravenous/TTJV catheter, using a high-pressure oxygen source and noncompliant tubing is a simple and quick method of effective ventilation, especially in a patient in whom the lungs cannot be ventilated via mask and/or whose trachea cannot be intubated. Plus, a kinked oxygen tube presents a major tripping hazard. This kinking causes a loss of oxygen flow which then must be corrected on a near continuous basis. Oxygen hoses, however, are very flexible and become kinked as they pass around furniture, door frames, and other obstacles in the home. Medical oxygen is seeing increased usage in the home environment. Now patients connected to oxygen equipment will be able to move about freely without the aggravation of a kinked line. Quintana has created a no kink oxygen tube.
