Background: Cardiovascular disease is a health problem in both developed and developing countries. One of the most common cardiovascular diseases in Indonesia is congestive heart failure. Congestive heart failure is a condition in which the heart is unable to maintain adequate cardiac output to meet metabolic and tissue oxygen demands despite good venous flow. Objective: This case study aims to obtain an overview of applying semi-fowler position to increase oxygen saturation in patients with congestive heart failure. Methods: The method used was a descriptive case study by conducting nursing care and literature review. Participants in this study were patients with congestive heart failure with impaired breathing patterns. Result: This case showed that applying semi-fowler position to Cardiac Heart Failure Patient was increased the oxygen saturation, which is characterized by a significant increase in oxygen saturation value with an average value of 3% each day. Conclusion: nurse can help patient increasing the oxygen saturation on CHF patient using semi fowlers position. Keywords:Nursing Care, Heart Failure, semi-fowlers
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
