Evaluating the Ineffectiveness of Chest Physiotherapy in Airway Clearance for Pneumonia Patients in the Hospital
Subject
Pneumonia, Ineffective Airway Clearance, Chest Physiotherapy
Description
Pneumonia is a respiratory disorder that commonly affects children. It is
often characterized by weakened vesicular breath sounds, along with fine
and coarse crackles, which can lead to ineffective airway clearance. Chest
physiotherapy is one of the treatments administered to pneumonia patients
with impaired oxygenation. This study aims to describe the application of
chest physiotherapy in managing ineffective airway clearance in pneumonia
patients in the Aster Room of RSD dr. Soebandi Jember. This research
employs a case study approach conducted over three days. Data collection
methods included interviews, measurements, and observations. The
evaluation results showed that the patient experienced a reduction in
secretion production, as evidenced by decreased rhonchi sounds and
reduced cough intensity. Chest physiotherapy has been proven effective in
clearing sputum from the airways and reducing cough intensity in
pneumonia patients.
