Pneumology

Paralysis often causes paraplegic patients (paraplegics and tetraplegics) to experience respiratory problems and diseases..

Supporting these patients is a focus of our Outpatient Care Unit. In addition to general care, we dedicate our work in particular to the following plegia-associated subjects:

- Assessing sleep apnoea syndrome is

- Respiratory rehabilitation (invasive and non-invasive)

- Lung function tests

- Blood gas analysis

- Tracheal cannula management and placement

- COPD, asthma and other pulmonary diseases

In all of these areas, we collaborate closely with our consulting pulmonary physician Dr. med. Franz Michel, medical specialist Pneumology and General internal medicine as well as our Nottwil Weaning^®.
