Title
Combination of Chest Physiotherapy and Postural Drainage for Airway Clearance in Bronchopneumonia: A Case Study
Subject
Bronchopneumonia, Chest Physiotherapy, Postural Drainage, Airway Clearance
Description
Background: Respiratory diseases such as bronchopneumonia contribute to
the highest cause of death in children aged less than two years. Airway
clearance becomes a problem due to the accumulation of secretions,
resulting in airway obstruction. Independent nursing interventions such as
chest physiotherapy can be carried out to free the airway and reduce the
burden of breathing. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the application
of chest physiotherapy intervention in bronchopneumonia children with
airway clearance problems. Method: The research design uses a case study
with a nursing process approach. The sample for this study was one child
patient aged nine months with bronchopneumonia who was taken using a
convenience sampling technique. Data was collected using interviews,
observation, and documentation studies using pediatric nursing care format
instruments. Chest physiotherapy intervention was carried out three times
with a duration of 10-15 minutes with a combination of postural drainage,
which was then evaluated before and after the procedure. Results: Chest
physiotherapy intervention in patients can improve coughing ability, increase
sputum production and respiratory rate 40 times per minute, and decrease
rhonchi and oxygen saturation by 96%. Conclusion: Chest physiotherapy can
be an effective independent nursing intervention to overcome the problem
of ineffective airway clearance nursing in children with bronchopneumonia.
