Education and Training for Parents and Caretakers
We partner with healthcare advocates, direct care providers, and community based organizations to provide outreach and education on COPD, asthma, sleep apnea, lung disease, pneumonia, bronchitis, emphysema, and other chronic respiratory conditions. We often provide free screenings and encourage the community to live clean, tobacco free lives.
Education and Community Outreach on Respiratory Health
Parents and caretakers feel overwhelmed and often lack the proper education and support to care for their loved ones. All too often they are sent home with complicated respiratory equipment and left to figure out how to operate and maintain the apparatus.
At Louisiana Lung Consultants we teach parents and caretakers how to use equipment such as CPAP machines and accessories, humidifiers, vaporizers, regulators and cylinders, nasal cannulas, oxygen tubing, sleep apnea and snoring devices, nebulizers, and more. Equally as important, we teach parents and caretakers how to make significant lifestyle changes that can lead to improved respiratory health for their loved ones. These include dietary changes and environmental changes that can reduce contaminants in the home. Parents and caretakers have a huge responsibility to bear. Our goal is to help lighten their load.
