Home Nebulizers and Respiratory Medications

Gray Arrow

A.K. is an 83-year-old male with COPD. When he was 77 years of age, he developed pneumonia and was hospitalized. While in the hospital, he received continuous oxygen and nebulizer treatments. He was medically stable after 10 days in the hospital and his physician referred him to AdvantaCare Medical for homecare service.

AdvantaCare provided a nebulizer and continuous oxygen which are covered by Medicare. The patient’s physician ordered dual meds comprised of unit dose Albuterol (2.5 mg) and Atrovent (.5 ml) Q4. The goal of the nebulizer treatment was to relieve the patient’s labored breathing. The patient was trained on how to use his nebulizer medications, take his treatment and clean and monitor his equipment. AdvantaCare continues to call this patient monthly to monitor his nebulizer medication usage.

This elderly gentleman is very mobile and enjoys traveling to Las Vegas and other locations from his home in Northern California. The patient continues on AdvantaCare’s service with a portable nebulizer and oxygen system and he has expressed to the team how excited he is to maintain his active lifestyle.
