Nursing management for COPD
Clear airway (Bronchodilators, IS, effective coughing, CPT, expectorants and
mucolytics) Increase activity tolerance (PT and OT)
Improving breathing patterns (pursed lip breathing)
Monitor and manage complications (O2 sats, ABGs, RR, HR)
Patient teaching for COPD
Do activities as tolerated and refer to PT
Sleep in upright position or head of bed elevated
Extreme temperatures can cause irritation to
bronchioles Avoid smoking and pollution
Diaphragmatic breathing
Get vaccines
hand washing
Proper sleep and nutrition
avoid traveling in high risk areas
patient teaching about sputum
Color and consistency
Expectorants and
mucolytics proper
hydration
Nasal saline
,Sarcoidosis
chronic inflammatory disease in which small nodules (granulomas) develop in
lungs, lymph nodes, and other organs
More common in African Americans
growths can grow so big to where it forms fibroids
Signs and symptoms of sarcoidosis
Bilateral ocular pain, photophobia and decreased vision. Shortness of
breath. Iris Nodules (koeppe nodules pupil margin vs Busacca all
around iris)
Mutton Fat KP's
Vasculitis (Candle-Wax Drippings)
Hemoptosis
How to diagnose sarcoidosis
Chest XR
CT of chest
biopsy
PFT
ABGs
Medical management of sarcoidosis
Corticosteroids
Immune
modulators:
- Methotrextrate
- Azathioprine
- Leflunomide
- Mycophenolate
,Long term side effects off steroid use
moon face
high blood sugar
they need to be tapered off the steroids for a long time
Nursing management of sarcoidosis
Achieve airway
clearance Improve
nutritional status
Improve breathing patterns
Monitoring and managing complications
pleurisy
Inflammation of both layers of the
pleurae Can happen in conjunction
with:
Pneumonia
Upper reps
infection TB
Metastatic cancer
pleuritic pain
sharp, stabbing pain associated with
breathing may radiate to shoulder or
abdomen
, Medical management of pleurisy
Tylenol (hepatic toxic 4G
max) Anti-inflammatories
Cough suppressants
Splinting of chest wall
Complications with pleurisy
-Pain due to deep breathing which will cause breathing to become more
shallow which can lead to tachypnea
-Patient will become less mobile -> DVTs
-Coughing will hurt -------> patient won't breathe deeply ---- > pneumonia
- Pleural spaces can start to accumulate fluid -------> lung collapse ---> ineffective
oxygen exchange ---- chest tube
Pneumothorax
Air in the pleural cavity -------> collapsed lung --- > traditionally upper lung collapse
Causes of pneumothorax
Simple (happens randomly) (rupture of a
bleb) traumatic (injury) (Laceration,
hemothorax) tension (air cannot escape)
