25.01.2022 Launceston Respiratory Physiotherapy provide Airvo humidified high flow for hire. It is a very effective tool at managing secretion thickness especially during infections AND reducing breathlessness. In the last week it has prevented a client from being admitted to hospital. Get in contact to see our Physiotherapist for a trial along with a consultation on your airway clearance program. ... Try an alternative to being in hospital. Please note: if your symptoms are severe, hospital is the appropriate place to be.

21.01.2022 It is important to recognise that someone is suffering from the syndrome of chronic cough Otherwise it may lead to misdiagnosis with the person being labelled as suffering from recurrent chest infections, treatment resistant asthma or exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) #chroniccough #cough #coughing #copd #bronchitis #chestinfection #asthma

16.01.2022 From TasAlert Tasmania's Director of Public Health has advised that bushfire smoke is continuing to affect air quality in Tasmania, particularly in the state’s North West and North, but also through the Midlands and into the East Coast. Smoke is predicted to continue to affect Tasmania during the next few days.... Poor air quality poses a health risk, especially to vulnerable people, including those aged over 65 years, babies and young children, pregnant women, and those with heart or lung conditions, including asthma. Even healthy people can experience short-term health effects in very poor air quality conditions. It is important that people with asthma or other chronic conditions follow their health plan and try to reduce the smoke they breathe. The safest thing to do when it is very smoky is to stay indoors, and to avoid outdoor activities. On smoky days everyone should try to: - Stay indoors, close your doors and windows - Make sure any air conditioning is not bringing outdoor air inside - Avoid exercise outdoors - Go somewhere less smoky like a friend’s place, library, or shopping centre Importantly, anyone who becomes unwell should seek medical help.
