Administering Oxygen by Nasal Cannula01:29

Administering Oxygen by Nasal Cannula

524
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,...

Oxygen Delivering System I: Nasal Cannula and Face Mask

298
The human body requires oxygen to function, and when the natural process of respiration is hindered, external devices, including the following, are needed to help deliver this vital gas.
Nasal Cannula
A nasal cannula is a lightweight tube split at one end into two prongs and placed in the nostrils. It is typically used to deliver low to medium levels of oxygen.
Suggested flow rate: The suggested flow rate for a nasal cannula typically ranges between 1 and 6 L/min.
Oxygen percentage setting:...

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway01:29

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway

390
Nasopharyngeal suctioning is a procedure to remove secretions from the upper part of the respiratory tract that the patient cannot clear independently. It helps maintain airway patency and prevents complications such as aspiration pneumonia.

Acute Respiratory Failure-V01:29

Acute Respiratory Failure-V

135
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.
Ensure that patients are monitored continuously for their response to therapy, including changes in...

Administering Oxygen by Mask
Administering oxygen by mask is a common nursing intervention that provides supplemental oxygen to patients with respiratory distress or chronic lung conditions. This procedure involves delivering oxygen at a specified rate through a face mask connected to an oxygen source.
Equipment
The equipment necessary for this procedure includes:

Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Emergency Medicine
  • Respiratory Medicine

Background:

  • High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) is frequently used for mild to moderate (m/m) bronchiolitis despite limited evidence.
  • The study addresses the overuse of HFNC in pediatric emergency departments (PEDs).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To decrease HFNC utilization for m/m bronchiolitis in a PED from a baseline of 37% to under 18.5%.
  • To implement and evaluate a clinical pathway for bronchiolitis management.

Main Methods:

  • A multidisciplinary team developed and implemented a bronchiolitis pathway in December 2019.
  • A respiratory score (RS) was integrated into the electronic medical record to objectively classify severity.
  • Interventions included policy updates, RS application, order set modification, and HFNC-specific orders over four plan-do-study-act cycles.

Main Results:

  • HFNC utilization for m/m bronchiolitis decreased from 37% to 17% between December 2019 and December 2021.
  • RS entry increased from 60% to 73% during the intervention period.
  • Sustained HFNC utilization rates were observed even with fluctuating patient volumes post-pandemic.

Conclusions:

  • A standardized clinical pathway effectively reduces HFNC use in m/m bronchiolitis.
  • Consistent use of a respiratory score, decision support, and education are key to sustained improvements in pediatric respiratory care.
