How To Treat Shortness Of Breath During Dialysis In An Elderly Person?
My grandmother is on a ventilator, she can breathe fine when the vent is off, but when she takes dialysis, she is put back on the vent because she have trouble breathing. My question is there any other method to be used to control her breathing while on dialysis instead of a ventilator.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, without knowing the exact etiology this is difficult to comment but at least it can be said that if the case is in hospital then there it must be mandatory for her to put her on ventilator and this is nothing to worry, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day
