Why do patients with copd wear a medical alert bracelet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Steroid use: Medical alert tags tell an emergency responder about conditions that may impact the patients treatment. Chronic steroid use would be important information.Also! many COPD patients have trouble breathing with too much oxygen!
