Abstract:
We aimed to report a case of varicella pneumonia that resulted in respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation. The patient was a 40-year-old man whose rashes started after his childeren developed varicella and who had a high fever, sputum and sputum with blood, cough, cold and shiver four days before admission. A treatment was commenced by an antiviral acyclovir and ampiric ampicillin-sulbactam therapy. Although a supporting oxygen treatment, the patient whose oxygen saturation did not increase and respiratory rate was high was commenced by an invasive mechanical ventilation because of a respiratory failure. The patient that had a recovery in clinical symptoms after 36 hours was extubated and was discharged from hospital by the following week.

Negative-Pressure Ventilators
Negative-pressure ventilators create a vacuum around the chest or body to draw air into the lungs, simulating breathing. This method does not require an...
Pneumonia IV: Management
Bacterial Pneumonia Treatment
For bacterial pneumonia, antibiotics serve as the cornerstone of therapy. Initial treatment often begins with empirical antibiotics, tailored to the anticipated causative organism and adjusted based on culture results. Key antibiotic choices include:
Pneumonia III: Complications and Assessment
Pneumonia V: Nursing management and Prevention
The nurse must practice strict medical asepsis and adhere to infection control guidelines to minimize healthcare-associated infections.
Enhance airway patency
Position the patient correctly to facilitate drainage of the affected lung segments. Manual or mechanical percussion and vibration can also be employed.
Mechanical Ventilation III: Noninvasive Ventilation
Noninvasive Positive-Pressure Ventilation (NIPPV)
Acute Respiratory Failure-II
The underlying physiological abnormalities that contribute to hypoxemic respiratory failure include:
