Breathing01:05

Breathing

62.0K
The process of breathing, inhaling and exhaling, involves the coordinated movement of the chest wall, the lungs, and the muscles that move them. Two muscle groups with important roles in breathing are the diaphragm, located directly below the lungs, and the intercostal muscles, which lie between the ribs. When the diaphragm contracts, it moves downward, increasing the volume of the thoracic cavity and creating more room for the lungs to expand. When the intercostal muscles contract, the ribs...

Inhaled Medications

514
Inhaled medications are crucial for managing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. They are essential for effective treatment and control, ensuring optimal respiratory health and well-being. Inhaled medication delivers drugs directly to the lungs, providing a rapid onset of action and reducing systemic side effects compared to oral or injectable medications. Three primary types of inhalation devices are used to administer these medications: nebulizers, metered-dose inhalers...

Administering Oxygen by Nasal Cannula01:29

Administering Oxygen by Nasal Cannula

1.5K
Oxygen therapy is critical to patient care, especially for those struggling with respiratory issues. This intervention increases the oxygen concentration in the lungs, enhancing the amount of oxygen transported to the body's tissues. One standard method of delivering supplemental oxygen is through a nasal cannula, a non-invasive device that provides low to medium oxygen concentrations.
Nasal Cannulas
A nasal cannula is a lightweight tube split into two prongs placed in the nostrils,...

Area of Science:

  • Neonatal care
  • Respiratory support
  • Quality improvement

Background:

  • Less invasive surfactant administration (LISA) is increasingly recognized as optimal for surfactant delivery in spontaneously breathing neonates.
  • UK and European guidelines support LISA for reducing mechanical ventilation and improving outcomes like death or bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
  • Despite evidence, LISA uptake in England lags behind European countries.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the implementation process of LISA in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) over two years.
  • To identify barriers and challenges encountered during LISA implementation.
  • To outline strategies used to overcome these challenges and facilitate LISA adoption.

Main Methods:

  • A quality improvement project was undertaken in a NICU setting.
  • The project focused on the systematic implementation of the LISA technique.
  • Data collection and analysis were used to track progress and identify challenges.

Main Results:

  • The project outlines the practical steps and timeline for introducing LISA.
  • Key barriers such as staff training, equipment, and cultural resistance were identified.
  • Strategies including multidisciplinary collaboration and continuous education were employed to overcome these obstacles.

Conclusions:

  • Successful implementation of LISA requires a structured approach and dedicated effort.
  • Addressing barriers through targeted interventions can improve the uptake of evidence-based practices like LISA.
  • Optimizing surfactant delivery methods like LISA is crucial for improving neonatal respiratory outcomes.
