Managing respiratory disease with healthy behaviors and
a healthy lifestyle. Breathing difficulties
are a major source of anxiety for people with respiratory disease. This is compounded
when they (and the people around them) don’t know what to do during an acute episode.
At Cardium Health, we understand not only the physiology of chronic respiratory disease
but also the psychology. Our multi-disciplinary counseling
model, featuring AirLogix,
is comprised of respiratory therapists with
specialized education, experience and expertise in pediatric and adult respiratory care.
With our
people-centered approach, we
connect with individuals at their level of understanding and fill the communication gap
between participants and their doctors.
We help people to gain control of their condition by educating them about the early
warning signs of acute episodes and making sure they are using their medications properly.
For example, there are so many similar-looking inhalers it’s easy to be confused.
We help participants make simple lifestyle changes, such as eating smaller meals to avoid
acid reflux, which can aggravate asthma and COPD. Our 24-hour Nurse Line also
helps relieve anxiety by having clinical support available to turn to any time, day or
night.
