INTRODUCTION
 Numerous treatment modalities are used when
caring for clients with various respiratory
conditions.
 The choice of treatment modalities is based on the
oxygenation disorder and whether there is a
problem with gas ventilation, diffusion or both.
CLASSIFICATION OF RESPIRATORY
MANAGEMENT MODALITIES
 Non-invassive respiratory therapies
 Invasive respiratory therapies
NON – INVASIVE RESPIRATORY THERAPIES
 Oxygen Therapy
 Incentive spirometry
 Mini – nebulizer Therapy
 Intermittent Positive –pressure breathing ( IPPB)
 Chest physiotherapy ( Postral drainage ,chest percussion,
breathing retraining
INVASIVE RESPIRATORY
MODALITIES
 Endotracheal intubation
 Tracheostomy
 Mechanical ventilation
OXYGEN THERAPY
 Oxygen therapy is the administration of oxygen at a
concentration greater than that found in the
environmental atmosphere.
INDICATIONS OF OXYGEN THERAPY
 A change in the clients respiratory rate or pattern may
be one of the earliest indications of the need for
oxygen therapy.
 Hypoxemia or hypoxia
COMPLICATIONS OF OXYGEN
THERAPY
 Oxygen toxicity
 Suppression of ventilation
 Combustion (burning)
METHODS OF OXYGEN
ADMINISTRATION
 Low flow system
 High flow system
LOW FLOW SYSTEM
 Cannula
 Oropharyngeal catheter
 Simple mask
 Partial rebreather mask
 Non breather mask
Cannula & Oropharygeal catheter
HIGH FLOW SYSTEMS
 Transtracheal catheter(invasive)
 Venturi mask
 Tracheostomy collar
 T – piece
 Face tent
INCENTIVE SPIROMETRY
( SUSTAINED MAXIMAL INSPIRATION)
 Incentive spirometry is a method of deep breathing
that provides visual feedback to encourage the clients
to inhale slowly and deeply to minimize lung inflation
and prevent or reduce atelectasis.
PURPOSE OF INCENTIVE SPIROMETRY
 The incentive spirometer that volume of air inhaled is
increased gradually as the patient takes deeper and
deeper breaths.
TYPPES OF INCENTIVE SPIROMETRY
 Volume Spirometry :-forced expiratory volume (FEV1)
measures how much air a person can exhale during a forced
breath at the first second of forced expiration.
Cont…
 Flow Spirometry:-
INDICATIONS OF SPIROMETRY
 Incentive spirometry is used after surgery, especially
Thoracic and abdominal surgery, to promote the expansion
of the alveoli and to prevent or treat atelectasis.
INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING
SPIROMETRY USING
 Proper position
 Technique for using the spirometry
 Frequency of usage
NEBULIZER THERAPY
 The nebulizer is a handled appartus that disperses a
moisturizing agent or mediation, such as bronchodilator or
mucolytic agent, into microscopic particles and delivers it
to the lungs as the client inhales.
INDICATIONS OF NEBULIZER
THERAPY
 In case of difficulty in clearing respiratory secreations
 Reduced vital capacity with ineffective deep breathing
and coughing.
 Most commonly used in COPD clients
CHEST PHYSIOTHERAPY ( CPT)
Chest physiotherapy includes:-
 Postural drainage,
 Chest percussion, and
 Chest vibration and breathing retraining.
The goals of CPT are to:-
 Remove bronchial secretions,
 Improve ventilation, and
 Increases the efficiency of the respiratory muscles.
ENDOTRACHEAL INTUBATION
 Endo-tracheal intubation involves passing an endo-
tracheal tube through the mouth or nose into the trachea.
 Endo-tracheal intubation provides a patent airway when
the patient is having respiratory distress that cannot be
treated with simpler methods and is the method of choice
in emergency care.
TRACHEOSTOMY
 A tracheostomy is a surgical procedure in which an
opening is made into the trachea.
 The indwelling tube is inserted into the trachea i.e. called
as:- tracheostomy tube.
 A tracheostomy either Temporary or permanent.
COMPLICATIONS OF TRACHEOSTOMY
 Complications may occur early or late in the course of
tracheostomy tube management.
 They may even occur after the tube has been removed.
EARLY COMPLICATIONS
INCLUDING
 Bleeding
 Pneumothorax
 Air embolism
 Aspiration
 Subcutaneous or mediastinal emphysema
 Recurrent laryngeal nerve damage
LONG TERM COMPLICATIONS
 Airway obstructions from accumulation of secretions
 Infection
 Rupture of the innominate artery
 Dysphagia
 Tracheo-esophageal fistula
 Tracheal ischmia and necrosis
MECHANICAL VENTILATION
 Mechanical ventilation may be required for a variety of
reasons.
 To control the patient Respiration during surgery or during
treatment of severe head injury, to oxygenate the blood when
the patient ventilatory efforts are inadequate
 A mechanical ventilator is a Positive or negative pressure
breathing device that can maintain ventilation and oxygen
delivery for a prolonged period
INDICATIONS
 Continues decrease in oxygenation (PaO2), an increase in
arterial carbon dioxide levels ( PaCO2) and persistent acidosis (
decreased pH) mechanical ventilation may be necessary. ( Any
dramatic alterations in ABGs valves) Conditions such as
Thoracic or abdominal surgery
 Drugs over dose
 Neuromuscular injury and inhalation ingury
 COPD , multiple trauma, shock, multisystem failure and coma.
CLASSIFICATION OF
VENTILATORS
 Negative- pressure ventilators
 Positive- pressure ventilators
COMPLICATIONS
 Alterations in cardiac function
 Barotrauma ( trauma to the trachea or alveoli secondary to
Positive pressure)
 Ventilator associated pneumonia
 Pulmonary infection
 Sepsis
WEANING THE PATIENT FROM THE
VENTILATOR
 Respiratory weaning, the process of withdrawing the
patient from dependncce on the ventilator, takes place in
three stages, the patient is gradually removed from the
ventilator, then from the tube, and finnaly from oxygen.
