Bangalore · Booked by the visit
Nebulisation, vitals and blood samples at home, in a single visit.
A nurse visit for the small clinical tasks that otherwise mean a clinic trip: a nebuliser session during a chest infection, a proper set of vitals with a written record, or a prescribed blood sample collected at home. Booked for the next day or later.

In one paragraph
A nebulisation, vitals or blood-sample visit is a 30 to 60 minute home appointment by a GNM or B.Sc nurse. The nurse gives the prescribed nebuliser dose and checks breathing before and after, or records blood pressure, pulse, temperature, oxygen saturation and blood sugar on a sheet the doctor can read, or collects a prescribed blood sample with the lab’s tubes. It is booked per visit for the next day or later, alone or daily through an illness.
What we cover
Care needs & conditions covered.
Conditions covered
- Chest infection with prescribed nebulisation
- Asthma or COPD flare
- Post-viral wheeze in an older adult
- New blood pressure or diabetes medicine being adjusted
- Fever or weakness the doctor wants monitored at home
- Routine or urgent blood test ordered by a doctor
- Anticoagulant monitoring
- Housebound patients who cannot reach a lab
Care needs we support
- Prescribed nebuliser dose given with the family’s machine or one the nurse brings, breathing assessed before and after
- Blood pressure, pulse, temperature, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation and blood sugar recorded on a dated sheet
- Prescribed blood sample collected using the lab’s tubes and requisition, labelled and handed to the lab or courier
- Inhaler and spacer technique checked and taught where the doctor has prescribed one
- Medicine list reconciled against what is actually in the house
- A written note left for the family and, on request, sent to the treating doctor
Nebulisation at home
A nebuliser dose, given properly, with someone watching the chest.
Families own nebulisers and use them badly: the wrong dilution, a mask that leaks, a session cut short because the patient is tired. A nurse visit fixes the technique and, more usefully, listens to the chest and counts the breathing before and after so the doctor knows whether the medicine is working.
- Prescribed bronchodilator or saline dose measured and given over the full session
- Mask or mouthpiece fit checked; a leaking mask halves the dose that reaches the lungs
- Respiratory rate, oxygen saturation and effort recorded before and after
- Nebuliser cup, mask and tubing cleaned and dried so the next dose is not given through a contaminated set
- Family taught when a home nebuliser is enough and when a rising rate or falling saturation means the doctor
- Daily visits through a chest infection are booked together so the same nurse sees the trend
Vitals with a record
Numbers the doctor can act on, taken the same way each time.
A home blood pressure reading taken on a sofa after climbing stairs is a different number from one taken seated after five minutes of rest. When a doctor is adjusting blood pressure, heart or diabetes medicines, a nurse taking the readings the same way on the same sheet is what makes the numbers comparable.
- Blood pressure taken seated after rest, correct cuff size, both arms on the first visit
- Pulse rate and rhythm noted, with irregularity flagged for the doctor
- Temperature, respiratory rate and oxygen saturation recorded together, not one at a time across the day
- Capillary blood sugar at the time the doctor asked for: fasting, before a meal or two hours after
- Weight where the doctor is watching fluid, on the same scale each visit
- Readings entered on a dated sheet that stays with the patient and goes to the next appointment
Blood sample at home
The lab’s test, collected in the patient’s own chair.
Most Bangalore labs run their own home collection. A nurse visit is for the patient the lab’s phlebotomist cannot manage alone, or when the sample is one of several tasks on the same visit: a blood count and a dressing change, or a sugar profile alongside vitals.
- Sample collected on the doctor’s requisition using the lab’s tubes and labels
- Fasting and timing instructions confirmed with the family the evening before
- Difficult veins in older or dehydrated patients handled by a nurse used to them
- Sample handed to the lab’s courier or carried in by the family within the lab’s time window
- Bleeding and bruising at the site checked before the nurse leaves, especially on blood thinners
- Results go to the doctor through the lab; the nurse does not interpret them
How it is booked
One visit, a short series, or a monitoring routine.
All three are booked per visit for the next day or later. Tell us which and we roster accordingly.
Single visit
One nebuliser session, one set of vitals before a doctor’s appointment, or one prescribed blood sample.
A GNM or B.Sc nurse who brings a sharps box, gloves and a basic kit; the nebuliser can be the family’s or one the nurse brings.
Quote on enquiry
Daily through an illness
Nebulisation two or three times a day through a chest infection, or vitals each morning while a fever settles.
The same nurse where the roster allows, so the trend is seen by one pair of eyes and written on one sheet.
Quote on enquiry
Monitoring routine
Weekly or twice-weekly vitals and sugars while a doctor adjusts medicines over a month or two.
A scheduled visit at the same time of day, with the sheet photographed to the doctor after each visit if the family wants.
Quote on enquiry
Pricing is per visit and quoted on enquiry before the booking is confirmed. Nebuliser medicine, lab charges and any consumables beyond the nurse’s basic kit are itemised separately.
Visits are booked for the next day or later. We do not take same-day bookings at present; if the patient is struggling to breathe now, the nearest emergency department or the treating doctor is the right call.
Know the red flags
When a visit is not enough and the doctor or an ambulance is.
The nurse will stop and escalate if any of these are present. Families should do the same between visits.
- Breathing rate above 30 a minute at rest, or oxygen saturation below the level the doctor set
- Lips or fingertips turning blue or grey
- Unable to finish a sentence without stopping for breath
- No improvement in breathing after a full nebuliser dose
- Blood pressure far above or below the doctor’s stated range with headache, chest pain or fainting
- Blood sugar below 70 mg/dL with confusion, or above 300 mg/dL with vomiting or drowsiness
- New confusion, drowsiness or a fever that keeps climbing despite medicine
A nurse visit records and reports. It does not replace an emergency department for a patient who is acutely unwell, and the nurse will say so plainly rather than continue.
Honest expectations
What the visiting nurse does, and doesn’t.
Clear scope from day one keeps the placement happy on both sides. Here’s exactly what to expect.
Included in care

Not included (we arrange specialists instead)
- Change a nebuliser dose or start a new medicine without a prescription
