Thanks to your generosity, Abbotsford Regional Hospital’s respiratory care has taken a huge step forward with the addition of a new cough assist device, funded by TB Vets.
This important machine is already making a big difference for patients who have trouble coughing and clearing mucus from their lungs, especially those with diseases like neuromuscular conditions or spinal cord injuries.
By helping them clear their lungs more easily, it reduces the chance of serious health problems, shortens hospital stays, and helps patients get back to their homes faster.
Here’s how your support is making an impact:
- Improved Patient Health: Early use has shown a decrease in the need for more serious treatments like reintubation (putting patients back on a breathing tube) and long ICU stays.
- Better Care for More Patients: The device is now being used across different hospital areas, helping a wide range of patients.
- Faster, Easier Treatment: Staff have found the device easy to use, and it’s already helping patients feel more comfortable and recover faster.
Your support is truly making a difference in the lives of those who need it most.
