The Effects of Chest Physiotherapy on Applied to Patients Mechanicalventilated - In Patients with Acute Lung Injury

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of two single chest physiotherapies mechanically ventilated patients with acute lung injury. Method : Participants were 30 ICU patients depending entirely on ventilators without self-respiration. Each patients received two single chest physiotherapiesvibration palm cup percussion at hour intervals. Data were analyzed one-way ANOVA and Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Statistical significance was accepted at a p value less than .05. Results : ibration therapy, dynamic compliance and statics compliance demonstrated a significant increase immediately and remained increased until 30 minutes after chest physiotherapy. palm cum percussion therapy saturation showed a significant increase immediately chest physiotherapyut there were no significant differences in tidal volume, dynamic compliance and statics compliance. Conclusion : In this study, we analyzed the effects of oscillation method and palm cup percussion method separately for each type of chest physiotherapy. Nursing interventions that actively utilize vibration methods should be provided to patients with respiratory diseases.

“…10 Chest physiotherapy refers to a group of procedures that clear secretions, improve breathing effort, expand the lungs, prevent lung collapse and enhance gas exchange. 11,12 Physiotherapists have a crucial role in caring for patients with acute, sub-acute and chronic respiratory disorders and in avoiding the consequences of immobility and bed rest. 13 Physical therapy is a vital intervention in reducing the adverse outcomes of extended immobilization and mechanical ventilation during a severe illness.…”
