Summary
Nurses can help hospitalized patients with respiratory diseases quit smoking. This review covers nursing research on tobacco cessation interventions for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, and pneumonia, offering models for care.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Research
- Public Health
- Respiratory Medicine
Background:
- Tobacco use is a leading preventable cause of death and hospitalization globally, especially for respiratory conditions.
- Acute respiratory illnesses like COPD, asthma, and pneumonia present critical opportunities for nursing interventions in smoking cessation.
- While mortality for community-acquired pneumonia and asthma has decreased, COPD mortality continues to rise, exacerbated by smoking.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review the current scientific literature on nursing-led tobacco cessation interventions for hospitalized patients with COPD, asthma, or community-acquired pneumonia.
- To present evidence-based, nurse-driven hospital protocols for tobacco dependence treatment as models for clinical practice.
- To provide recommendations for enhancing nursing interventions for tobacco cessation within acute care settings.
Main Methods:
- Systematic review of nursing research focused on tobacco cessation in hospitalized patients with specific respiratory diseases.
- Description and analysis of two established nurse-driven hospital protocols for tobacco dependence treatment.
- Synthesis of findings to inform recommendations for promoting nursing interventions.
Main Results:
- The review details the existing body of nursing research on tobacco cessation interventions for patients hospitalized with COPD, asthma, and pneumonia.
- Two effective nurse-driven protocols for treating tobacco dependence in acute care settings are presented as adaptable models.
- Identified gaps and opportunities for advancing nursing's role in hospital-based smoking cessation.
Conclusions:
- Nursing interventions are crucial for addressing tobacco use among hospitalized patients with respiratory conditions.
- Evidence-based protocols can be effectively implemented by nurses to support smoking cessation in acute care.
- Further promotion and integration of these nursing strategies are recommended to reduce the burden of tobacco-related diseases.

01:29Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease-V: Management
Managing Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) involves a multifaceted approach to reduce symptoms, prevent exacerbations, improve overall health status, and slow disease progression. Key strategies include lifestyle modifications, pharmacotherapy, supportive therapies, and, in some cases, surgery. Here is an overview of the primary COPD management strategies:

01:30Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease-V: Nursing Management
Nursing management of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is crucial for providing thorough care and support to patients. Nurses play an integral role in this process through detailed assessment, careful planning, targeted interventions, and ongoing evaluation. Here's an overview of the critical steps in nursing management for COPD.

01:29Acute Respiratory Failure-V
The treatment for acute respiratory failure varies based on factors like the underlying cause, overall health, and severity. A collaborative healthcare team is essential for early detection, often through arterial blood gas analysis. Identifying the cause is the primary goal, with treatment strategies adjusted for ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) mismatch, shunting, or diffusion impairment.

01:20Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease-I: Introduction
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a long-lasting respiratory condition requiring continuous attention and care. It is a progressive lung disease that leads to breathing challenges due to airflow obstruction. It manifests as persistent respiratory symptoms and restricted airflow resulting from abnormalities in the airways and alveoli, usually due to long-term exposure to harmful particles or gases. COPD mainly consists of two primary conditions: emphysema and chronic bronchitis.

IntroductionThe management of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) aims to minimize myocardial damage, preserve myocardial function, and prevent complications.Initial ManagementInpatient management involves continuous cardiac monitoring, preferably in an ICU, focusing on blood pressure, serum sodium, potassium, and creatinine levels, and urine output. Ongoing pharmacologic management is crucial for stabilizing the patient.Supplemental Oxygen: Administer supplemental oxygen if oxygen saturation is...
01:26COPD: Management Using Bronchodilators and Corticosteroids
Chronic obstructive pulmonary isease (COPD) involves a group of progressive lung disorders characterized by persistent airflow limitation and chronic respiratory symptoms. Asthma-COPD Overlap Syndrome (ACOS), encompassing features of both asthma and Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), is a group of progressive lung disorders that includes chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and refractory (non-reversible) asthma. ACOS leads to complex clinical presentations that combine the inflammatory...
