Ineffective breathing pattern related to malnutrition.

D R Openbrier, M Covey

    The Nursing Clinics of North America
    |March 1, 1987
    PubMed
    Summary

    Malnutrition significantly impacts breathing patterns in COPD and critically ill patients. Nurses must address nutritional status to improve respiratory function and patient outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Nursing
    • Respiratory Medicine
    • Clinical Nutrition

    Background:

    • Malnutrition presents a significant challenge in managing patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and hypercatabolic critical illnesses.
    • Altered breathing patterns are a common consequence of malnutrition in these complex patient populations.
    • Nursing care for these patients requires a deep understanding of the physiological links between nutritional status and respiratory function.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the problem of malnutrition in stable COPD and critically ill patients.
    • To review the mechanisms linking malnutrition to altered breathing patterns.
    • To outline nursing interventions and expected outcomes for managing ineffective breathing patterns related to malnutrition.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of literature and clinical observations.
    • Summary of nursing diagnosis manifestations, goals, interventions, and expected outcomes.
    • Emphasis on the nurse's role in nutritional assessment and support.

    Main Results:

    • Malnutrition directly influences breathing pattern alterations in vulnerable patients.
    • Nursing interventions aimed at modifying malnutrition can improve breathing patterns.
    • Successful outcomes include the relief of signs and symptoms associated with altered breathing.

    Conclusions:

    • Nurses play a crucial role in assessing, intervening, and evaluating nutritional support for patients with malnutrition and altered breathing.
    • Knowledge of malnutrition's physiological effects on breathing is essential for effective nursing care.
    • Further research is needed to strengthen the evidence base for nursing interventions in this area.
