#worldcopdday. #worldcopdday2019 Most concerns about end-stage COPD boil down to one question: What happens when you can’t breathe? It can be a major worry for you and your loved ones. But home health care and palliative care can help with that and other issues as you enter the final stages of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. When you get a plan in place, it can help lift some of the uncertainty and stress ahead. Palliative Care It’s also called supportive care. It focuses on keeping you comfortable and assisting you and your family during your illness. Palliative care also helps all the members of your medical team stay in the loop about your care. Am I Eligible? You can get palliative care at any stage. You may want to consider it when your pain is too much, breathing gets labored, or you often end up in the hospital or the ER. Ask your doctor for a palliative care referral. How Can It Help? As your COPD worsens, you may pick up repeated lung infections and have trouble walking and breathing. Palliative care helps you manage multiple symptoms and needs, including: Pain Nausea Tiredness Weight loss Shortness of breath (dyspnea) Supplemental oxygen Emergency planning Depression and anxiety our Palliative Care Team Your regular doctors and nurses treat the medical side of your COPD. Another set of palliative doctors, nurses, and social workers focus on easing the stress and effects from your condition, and they help you and your loved ones set goals for your quality of life.
