Patient & Healthcare Professional Education

Medigas respiratory therapists and nurses provide patients with instruction about the safe and proper use of their equipment including basic troubleshooting techniques as well as how to travel with their oxygen or CPAP therapy. Medigas territory managers offer a broad selection of inservice education topics to physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses and other caregivers to help them manage their respiratory patients.

Disease Management

Medigas recognizes that patient needs can change as their illness improves or progresses through the various stages of chronic disease. Our respiratory therapists and nurses provide clinical care to patients by ensuring current prescriptions are meeting their physiological needs and that the therapy modality can appropriately support the patient. Medigas is one of very few respiratory homecare providers that can supply all modalities of oxygen - stationary and portable oxygen concentrators, cylinders and liquid oxygen. For patients with sleep apnea, Medigas offers CPAP, Auto-titrating PAP and Bi-level PAP.

Patient Testing

Medigas respiratory therapists and nurses routinely perform oximetry testing on oxygen patients at rest, on exertion and nocturnally, with or without supplemental oxygen. In Ontario, respiratory therapists will perform arterial blood gas sampling to determine oxygen funding eligibility.
Within the provinces where Medigas operates, excluding Ontario, we offer patients home sleep apnea testing (HSAT). The data collected from the HSAT is scored then interpreted by an independent physician specializing in sleep medicine.

Therapy Adherence

Therapy adherence, often referred to as compliance, is the ability for patients to use therapy as it has been prescribed. There are many reasons why a patient may not follow their treatment plan ranging from being self-conscious using it in front of others, or feeling better, or not feeling any difference using the therapy. Medigas’ clinical team employs a variety of strategies to help keep patients on track so positive outcomes can be achieved.
