This document discusses various respiratory management modalities used to treat clients with respiratory conditions. It categorizes the modalities as non-invasive or invasive. Some non-invasive therapies discussed include oxygen therapy, incentive spirometry, mini-nebulizer therapy, and chest physiotherapy. Invasive modalities include endotracheal intubation, tracheostomy, and mechanical ventilation. Oxygen therapy administration methods and indications are described in detail. Complications of long-term oxygen therapy and tracheostomy are also summarized.
INTRODUCTION
Numerous treatmentmodalities 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.
OXYGEN THERAPY
Oxygentherapy is the administration of oxygen at a
concentration greater than that found in the
environmental atmosphere.
7.
INDICATIONS OF OXYGENTHERAPY
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
HIGH FLOW SYSTEMS
Transtracheal catheter(invasive)
Venturi mask
Tracheostomy collar
T – piece
Face tent
15.
INCENTIVE SPIROMETRY
( SUSTAINEDMAXIMAL 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.
16.
PURPOSE OF INCENTIVESPIROMETRY
The incentive spirometer that volume of air inhaled is
increased gradually as the patient takes deeper and
deeper breaths.
17.
TYPPES OF INCENTIVESPIROMETRY
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.
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.
NEBULIZER THERAPY
Thenebulizer 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.
22.
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
23.
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.
25.
ENDOTRACHEAL INTUBATION
Endo-trachealintubation 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.
26.
TRACHEOSTOMY
A tracheostomyis 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.
27.
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.
LONG TERM COMPLICATIONS
Airway obstructions from accumulation of secretions
Infection
Rupture of the innominate artery
Dysphagia
Tracheo-esophageal fistula
Tracheal ischmia and necrosis
30.
MECHANICAL VENTILATION
Mechanicalventilation 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
31.
INDICATIONS
Continues decreasein 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.
COMPLICATIONS
Alterations incardiac function
Barotrauma ( trauma to the trachea or alveoli secondary to
Positive pressure)
Ventilator associated pneumonia
Pulmonary infection
Sepsis
34.
WEANING THE PATIENTFROM 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.
