For many individuals of all ages, respiratory care is a valuable part of their lives. As one of the many services provided by the nursing professionals at Hiawatha Homecare, a home health care company servicing the Red Wing, MN, they would like to share some of the benefits of in-home respiratory care.  

Benefits of Respiratory Care

Increased Function

From children who were born prematurely to adults suffering from lung disease, respiratory care can increase lung function. In some cases, the function becomes more permanent by strengthening the airwaves and lungs. In other circumstances, including those suffering from declining lung function, there may only be temporary results, so continuous or repetitive treatments are necessary.

Decrease Strain

Respiratory care allows all of your organs and muscles to receive the right amount oxygen, so your body doesn’t work as hard to function. Since the body works as a unit, your entire system will relax, fatigue will decrease, and your body will have more energy to put into its other critical processes.

Enhanced Quality of Life

Continuous issues with breathing can make everyday tasks impossible. Over time, this uphill battle can negatively affect a person’s outlook on life. However, in many cases, respiratory care can enhance a person’s quality of life by allowing them to once again tackle certain activities, like walking to the mailbox or taking a short stroll through the neighborhood. Even completing small journeys again provides a sense of independence and happiness to many patients.
