Catalina Ávila
Respiratory Therapist
Delivers MDE Care's in-home respiratory therapy in Medellín, from newborns to older adults. Her work covers pulmonary rehabilitation, oxygen therapy, nebulization, nasal irrigation, tracheostomy care, respiratory device management and support during asthma and COPD exacerbations, as well as teaching patients and their families how to use the inhaler and oxygen.
When leaving the house for therapy is not an option
Traveling to a medical center for a respiratory therapy session is not always possible. An older adult with COPD, a patient just out of hospital, a baby struggling to breathe or someone with reduced mobility needs the therapy, but the trip exposes them to infection, wears them out and often depends on a relative taking time off work.
On top of that there is the real time each appointment takes: waiting for transport, the traffic, the waiting room and the trip back. A thirty-minute session ends up costing half a day.
What happens when therapy is interrupted
Postponing or interrupting respiratory therapy can mean relapses, hospital readmissions and a slower recovery. When treatment depends on the logistics of getting there, continuity breaks down, and continuity is exactly what makes the therapy work.
- Sessions skipped because nobody can come along
- The patient exposed in waiting rooms
- Asthma or COPD flare-ups that escalate for not being treated in time
- Families learning to handle oxygen or a tracheostomy with no guidance
Respiratory therapy at home, to the same clinical standard
MDE Care brings respiratory therapy to your home in Medellín. A professional comes to the house with the equipment needed and runs the session in the patient's own environment, to the same clinical standard as a clinic. You look after your family member; we handle the logistics.
No travel at all
No transport, no waiting room and no exposing the patient. The session happens in their bed or their armchair, at their own pace.
The family learns too
Part of the service is teaching the correct use of the inhaler, the oxygen and the devices, so care does not depend on the visit alone.
From newborns to older adults
One service with differentiated care for neonates, children and older adults.
Which conditions is in-home respiratory therapy indicated for?

What in-home respiratory therapy includes
Depending on the therapist's indication, the session at home can include these services. The initial assessment defines which ones apply to each patient and how often.
Pulmonary rehabilitation
Exercises and training to recover respiratory capacity and endurance, progressing according to what the patient tolerates.
Oxygen therapy
Oxygen support and guidance on managing it at home, monitoring the patient's saturation.
Nebulization
Delivering aerosol medication to open the airway, make breathing easier and mobilize secretions.
Inhaler and oxygen training
Training the patient and their family in correct inhaler technique and safe use of oxygen at home. A good share of treatment fails on technique, not on medication.
Nasal irrigation
Upper airway hygiene to clear the nose and improve breathing, with technique adapted to babies, children and adults.
Neonatal, pediatric and older-adult therapy
Care from newborns to older adults, with management and dosing adapted to each stage of life.
Tracheostomy care and management
Cleaning, stoma care and guidance for the caregiver to sustain tracheostomy management at home.
Respiratory device management
Setting up, correct use and answers on the respiratory devices the patient has at home.
Asthma and COPD flare-up management
Intervention in asthma and COPD flare-ups at home, with the judgment to refer to the emergency room when the situation calls for it.
In-home respiratory therapy for babies and children
A congested baby does not cooperate, tires quickly and cries through the session. Doing it at home changes the outcome: the child is in their own environment, in their mother's or father's arms, and the therapist can work without the tension of an unfamiliar clinic.
We treat patients from the newborn stage onward. The pediatric session at home combines nebulization, nasal irrigation and teaching parents how to repeat nasal hygiene between visits and how to recognize the warning signs that mean seeking care immediately.
