Impaired Gas Exchange - Pleural Effusion




Nursing Diagnosis for Pleural Effusion : Impaired Gas Exchange related to changes in capillary membrane – alveolar


Purpose:



  • Breathing the air in the balance between the concentration of arterial blood


The expected outcomes:



  • Showed an increase in ventilation and oxygen sufficient

  • Analysis of blood gases within normal limits.


Nursing Interventions:


Airway Management



  • Clear the airway

  • Encourage breathing long and lasting cough

  • Set the appropriate humidity

  • Set the position to reduce dyspnoea

  • Monitor frequency of breath associated with oxygen adjustment


Respiration Monitor



  • Monitor rate, rhythm, depth and effort to breathe

  • Note the movement of the chest, breast symmetry, using tools and intercostal muscle retraction

  • Monitoring nasal breathing, the snoring

  • Monitor breathing patterns, bradipneu, takipneu, hyperventilation, resirasi kusmaul, etc.

  • Palpation similarity lung expansion

  • Anterior and posterior chest percussion of both lungs

  • Monitor the diaphragm muscle fatigue

  • Auscultation breath sounds, record or ketidakadanya area reduction and ventilation and breath sounds

  • Monitor restlessness, anxiety and anger

  • Note the characteristic cough and duration

  • Monitor respiratory secretions

  • Dyspnoea and monitor the development and progression of events

  • Perform maintenance nebulized therapy if necessary

  • Place the patient laterally to prevent aspiration


Management Asid Base



  • Send a laboratory examination of acid-base balance (eg, blood gas analysis, urine and serum levels)

  • Monitor blood gas analyzer for low PH

  • Position the patient for optimum ventilation perfusion

  • Maintain the cleanliness of the air (suction and chest therapy)

  • Monitor respiration pattern

  • Monitor work pernafsan (respiratory rate).
