Turning as a Nursing Maneuver for Improved Oxygenation in Critically Ill Patients

Learn about the crucial role of turning in the care of critically ill patients with respiratory problems. Discover how different positions can maximize ventilation, improve oxygenation, and support normal cellular function. Find out the best positions for patients with normal lungs, bilateral lung disease, and unilateral lung disease, and the benefits of early position changes. Explore training programs and resources for critical care nurses and healthcare institutions.

  2. TURNING AS A NURSING MANEUVER

  3. The critical care nurse plays a crucial role in the assessment, diagnosis, and management of patients with respiratory problems who develop hypoxemia. Turning is one of the general kinds of nursing actions during care of patients. Critically ill patients turning maximizes ventilation to improve oxygenation which in turn would affect the individual’s ability to maintain an internal environment that allows normal cellular function

  4. position changes had a significant effect on oxygenation in mechanically ventilated patients

  5. Normal lungs Bilateral disease The improvement in arterial blood gases depends on site and extent of lung pathology ABG are improved in all positions The best position is prone The subsequent are right and then left The same improvement in duration and frequency but less than in normal lung Are improved with the good lung down Are worsened with the affected lung down Unilateral disease

  6. Healthy lungs Diseased lungs In both Prone and side lying positions enhance the efficiency of O2 transport and thereby minimize or avoid use of high concentration of supplemental oxygen and positive end expiratory pressure.

  7. For any critically ill patient body positioning is a 24-hours concern

  8. Turn Patients with normal lungs and patients with bilateral lung disease Left 1.5 hr Prone 1.5 hr Right 1.5 hr Supine 1.5 hr

  9. Turn Patients with right lung disease Left 1.5 hr Supine 1.5 hr Prone 1.5 hr Right 0.5hr

  10. Turn patients with left lung disease Prone 1.5 hr Right 1.5 hr Supine 1.5 hr No left

  11. Position change is asimple way to reduce shunting and improve oxygenation It allows reduction in FIO2 and PEEP and reducing their complications *do your patients a good turn *Try the position changes early in the course of illness Turning a critically ill patients is not difficult. It requires four trained nurses

  12. Books and scientific magazines The care of critically ill patients in their programs *pre-service training programs (for newly critical care nurses)*in-service training programs (for already critical care nurses) Hospital administration Schools of nursing Critical care units
