Pneumonia V: Nursing management and Prevention

4.0K
Nursing management of pneumonia involves promoting airway patency, facilitating rest and conserving energy, encouraging fluid intake, maintaining nutrition, and educating patients.
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....

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...

Trachea

6.4K
The trachea, commonly known as the windpipe, is a vital part of the human respiratory system. It serves as a passageway for air to travel between the larynx and the bronchi, allowing oxygen to reach the lungs. Let's explore its anatomical features, dimensions, layers of the tracheal wall, associated muscles, and the functions of its parts.
Anatomical Features:
Location: About half of the trachea is situated in the neck, anterior to the esophagus, and extends from the larynx (at the level of...

Summary

Limited evidence exists for cancer cough interventions. Brachytherapy and some medications show potential, but studies have significant bias, necessitating more high-quality research for effective cancer cough management.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Palliative Care
  • Respiratory Medicine

Background:

  • Cough is a prevalent and poorly controlled symptom in cancer patients, particularly those with lung cancer.
  • Clinicians have limited options for managing cancer-related cough effectively.
  • This review focuses on interventions beyond chemotherapy and radiotherapy for cough in malignancy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions for managing cough in cancer patients.
  • To identify effective treatments for cough in lung cancer and other malignancies.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and clinical trials.
  • Searched multiple databases (CENTRAL, MEDLINE, EMBASE, etc.) up to June 2014.
  • Data extracted independently by two reviewers; meta-analysis not performed due to heterogeneity.

Main Results:

  • No new trials were included in this update; conclusions remain unchanged from the original review.
  • Brachytherapy showed potential for cough improvement in selected patients, suggesting dose optimization.
  • Pharmacological agents like morphine, codeine, and levodropropizine indicated some positive effects, but studies had high risk of bias.
  • Photodynamic therapy showed promise in one study, but its comparative effectiveness is unclear.

Conclusions:

  • The review found insufficient high-quality evidence to guide clinical practice for cancer cough interventions.
  • Existing studies suffer from low methodological quality and high risk of bias.
  • There is an urgent need for more numerous and higher-quality studies on cancer cough management.
