Complex respiratory support with nurse-led oversight
Complex respiratory care and ventilation support require clear clinical assessment, equipment-aware care planning and regular review. Registered nurses oversee monitoring needs, airway management, secretion management, cough assist where clinically indicated and ventilatory support within the agreed care plan.
- Ventilatory support is considered where clinically appropriate and within the agreed care plan.
- Monitoring, equipment checks and escalation plans are reviewed with the wider clinical team.
Respiratory Care Governance
Respiratory support is planned around assessed risks, staff competency, equipment checks and emergency protocols.
Monitoring and Escalation
Care plans set out respiratory monitoring expectations, escalation routes and access to clinical advice.
