- ArthritisA condition which occurs when the lungs loose their normally elasticity and become stiff which restricts their volume and may impede the movement of oxygen into the blood. This may occur secondary to other diseases (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis), exposure to damaging agents (e.g. certain drugs or inhalers) or for unknown reasons (i.e. idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis).
- Medical Weight LossThe 5th Generation AffloVest has doubled the vibratory force, offers a more ergonomic fit with a 28% weight reduction, utilizes an enhanced digital controller, and has seen an improvement in battery life in comparison to the original AffloVest.
- Primary CareRoger’s primary care provider had been reluctant to order vent therapy in the past — but after reviewing hospital notes and test results, even she agreed: Roger would very likely benefit from Rotech’s NIVnow program.
- Smoking CessationIn the first 30 days following discharge, including a physical assessment, smoking cessation options (if applicable), and a review of nutrition and medication.
- Sleep DisordersDuring sleep, especially during the deepest stages of sleep (called REM sleep), the muscles in the back of the throat relax. This causes the upper airway to become smaller. Sleep Apnea is a sleep disorder where the upper airway collapses, causing a blockage of air movement into the lungs and stopping airflow for several seconds or more. An apnea is a pause in breathing, lasting at least 10 seconds.

- Wound CareWe know that patients who are informed and educated have the best chance of healing – and preventing future wounds. As you age, your body becomes more susceptible to wounds. Wounds can also take longer to heal. Proper wound care for all wounds, even small ones, is essential to help you live a more comfortable and productive life.
- Fungus
- Physical TherapyPatient-specific therapy with eight anatomically positioned oscillating motors to create individual pressure waveforms to target all lobes of the lungs, posteriorly and anteriorly, to loosen, thin and mobilize the patient’s lung secretions. It is designed to mimic the gold standard Chest Physical Therapy.
