Lung-supporting infusion
How it works
The intravenous lung-supporting infusion is intended for people whose respiratory system is chronically burdened – by disease, past infections or prolonged stress on the body.
It is a form of adjunctive therapy that can be used as a complement to treatment provided by a doctor, as well as prescribed pharmacotherapy and lifestyle changes (including activity adjusted to your abilities, breathing work and sleep hygiene).
The aim of the infusion is to support the overall condition of the body and the functioning of the respiratory system so that everyday activities – within your health possibilities – are better tolerated.
The effects of therapy are individual, and the decision to use the infusion is made after the doctor has assessed the patient’s health status.
Who it is for
The intravenous lung-supporting infusion may be considered for people:
- with chronic lung or airway diseases who are under regular medical supervision,
- experiencing exertional shortness of breath, quick fatigue or a feeling of “being out of breath” during everyday activities,
- after respiratory infections that have left long-lasting weakness,
- for whom the doctor is looking for additional, closely monitored forms of support for the respiratory system.
The infusion does not replace pulmonological treatment or any other therapies prescribed by the doctor. It may be considered as part of a therapeutic plan.
How it works – step by step
- Contact with reception
First, we ask you to contact reception – by phone or via the contact form on the website. The team will explain the basic organisational details and propose a date to begin the qualification process for the infusion. - You complete a qualification form
Next, you will receive a qualification form in which you describe your respiratory symptoms, previous diagnoses, medications you are taking and any current test results (if you have them). This is an important step that allows the doctor to assess the safety of using the intravenous lung-supporting infusion. - Qualification and selection of the preparation and dosage by a physician (in the case of patients under 18 years of age)
During the consultation, the physician collects a detailed medical history and analyzes the medical documentation and test results. Based on this, they decide whether intravenous infusions supporting lung function are an appropriate form of support in your child’s situation. If you are over 18 years of age, the preparation is selected by a specialized nurse. - Scheduling the infusion
After a positive qualification, a date is set for the intravenous lung-supporting infusion and, if appropriate, an outline plan for further visits. You will receive detailed information on how to prepare for the infusion, how long your stay in the clinic will last and what recommendations apply after the procedure is completed.
