We did not find Virtual pediatric pulmonology consultation in Barranquilla, Colombia

What can be handled in a virtual visit?

Follow-up for children with asthma or other diagnosed respiratory diseases, reviewing test results, treatment adjustments, inhaler technique education, guidance on non-urgent symptoms and second opinions based on previous studies.

When is an in-person visit better?

For the first evaluation of a complex problem, when the lungs need to be listened to, oxygen levels measured with office equipment, spirometry or other tests done, or if the child is sick with fever or breathing difficulty.

How should you prepare for the video call?

Have inhalers and medications at hand, recent tests, your child's current weight and height and, if you have them, a pulse oximeter and thermometer. Videos of the cough, breathing or sleep are very helpful to the specialist. Choose a well-lit place with a stable connection.

When should you not wait for a virtual visit?

If the child is breathing with great effort, the ribs pull in, lips are blue, they cannot talk or eat because of breathlessness, or they are very lethargic, go to the emergency room immediately.
