ya had me when you said you were from Texas...... Between you, me and the QuadList, suctioning is an evasive procedure and should only be done by a respiratory specialist, or trained nurse. However, in the real world, I've seen well trained aides who knew what they were doing, perform well. Sometimes better then any certified person. But that is rare. You are not qualified to make medical statements to an agency. Your medical needs should be written out by a medical doctor or pulmonary specialist and followed precisely. I don't know if members here have the same issues, but they often have the same needs when using a vent. Best Wishes In a message dated 2/7/2011 3:41:18 P.M.

I am from Texas, the home help agency, though once to let provider suctioned because it is not dedicated only caregiver could do that. I'd tell them that suctioned is part of of my needs. I am asking to the people that are connected to a respirator if they have the same problem like I do
