Application of Head Up 30 Degree Positioning to Improve Oxygen Saturation in Stroke Patients in the Emergency Room of Pandan Arang Regional General Hospital Boyolali

Stroke, Oxygen saturation, Head up 30 degrees

Background: Stroke is a brain disease that attacks the brain suddenly and
causes impaired nerve function, caused by blockage of blood vessels and
lack of oxygen in the blood to the brain. Poor blood flow in stroke patients
results in hemodynamic disorders, including decreased oxygen saturation.
One of the independent nursing actions to increase oxygen saturation is to
give a 30-degree head-up position. Objective: To determine the results of
applying a head-up position of 30 degrees in increasing oxygen saturation in
stroke patients in the Emergency Room of Pandan Arang Boyolali Hospital.
Methods: This research uses a descriptive method (case study). Results:
Oxygen saturation before applying the head-up position, 30 degrees in both
respondents, was included in the mild hypoxia category. After applying a
head-up position of 30 degrees in both respondents, oxygen saturation was
included in the normal category. Conclusion: There are differences in oxygen
saturation results before and after applying the 30-degree head-up position
in stroke patients.
