Hi all you vent users! I am a home health care nurse in Omaha, Ne. I
know of one client who used cascade but he never plugged it in. we COULD
NOT FIND A NEW CASCADE!!! he got his USED. All my other client use
Fischer whatever.
One guy sets it at 3. another gal has it set low like that. too. My most
current client has it set at 6! She is a post polio and that seem to be
able to cough it up that way. other wise she gets plugs!
I think every one is different
my advice : increase temp of water resevoir leads to increase humidity and
therefore thinner secretions and more secretions. IF your secretions are
numerous thin and watery, you need to decrease humidity! Remember that
thick plugs are dangerous to you they lead to pnemonia CindysanRn
i wish you the best
