Mira Karjalainen, Sairaanhoitaja / Mehiläinen

Introduction

I am Mira Karjalainen and I work as a nurse at Mehiläinen in Joensuu. I qualified as a professional in 2001, after which I have developed my professional skills through various further training courses. I have experience in both specialised health care and primary health care. I have worked in the private sector for about 15 years.

I have very broad experience in various areas of nursing. Currently, the main focus is on the care of allergy, asthma, and sleep apnoea patients. You can come to me for PEF monitoring guidance, asthma medication guidance, or asthma control. In cooperation with a paediatrician, we also conduct exercise stress tests for children and food challenges. Doctor-prescribed allergy desensitisation treatments can also be started at my practice. The options here are tablet and injection therapy.

I also care for memory patients, and you can book an appointment with me for, for example, a CERAD examination. In addition, I provide diabetes guidance, as well as medication guidance, for example, when starting various injections. By doctor's orders, I also carry out other necessary treatment procedures, such as pain patch therapy or migraine prevention medication infusions.

As a nurse, comprehensiveness is most important to me. Even if we treat a single ailment, good patient care is much more. I treat each patient as an individual and "tailor" the treatment methods to suit everyone as far as possible. I strive to be flexible with appointments so that, for example, families can fit visits into their other life.

About CPAP treatment: Please note that before starting CPAP treatment, a nocturnal polygraphy examination must be performed, and sleep apnoea must be diagnosed by a physician. For a nocturnal polygraphy examination, you need a doctor's referral.

You can come to my practice immediately after receiving a sleep apnoea diagnosis for CPAP device initiation, or if you have been undergoing sleep apnoea treatment for a long time and have problems with CPAP device treatment, for annual check-ups, or for a situation assessment. You can also book a call time with me if you want to know in advance about the different CPAP treatment options at Mehiläinen.

At the CPAP initiation visit, you will receive personal guidance on how to use the device and programs, you can try on different mask models, and we will agree on the continued follow-up of the treatment.

At Mehiläinen, you can also rent a Resmed AirSense S11 device for the waiting period of public healthcare. The AirMini device can be rented for travel or purchased.

Things to note when coming to the appointment: If you already have a CPAP device and mask, please bring them to the appointment. If the nocturnal polygraphy examination has been performed elsewhere than at Mehiläinen, please bring the examination result to the sleep apnoea nurse's appointment. If you have bite splints made by a dentist, please bring them to the CPAP treatment initiation visit.

Welcome to my practice – both children and adults.
