Ineffective airway clearance related to thick secretions or blood secretions, weakness, poor cough effort, edema, tracheal / pharyngeal.
Goals :
After a given airway hygiene nursing actions effectively, with the result criteria:

scientific reason of ineffective airway clearance
Impaired gas exchange /ineffective airway clearance /ineffective breathing
Impaired gas exchange Ineffective airway clearance Activity intolerance
Ineffective Airway Clearance r/t inability to clear mucus m/b Altered nutrition less than body requirement R/T inability to digest fat. Risk for infection r/t chronic pulmonary disease risk for ineffective family coping R/T chronic illness of a child.
The client is at risk for ineffective Airway Clearance caused by atelectasis and hypostatic pneumonia.Respiratory complications can still occur with any anesthetized client. As in the PACU, the postoperative client is at risk for ineffective airway clearance, ineffective breathing patterns, and aspiration.To prevent; ask PT to cough, deep breathe, and to sit up and ambulate as soon and as often as ordered. Ensure adequate pain relief measures so the mobility is well tolerated.Just found that answer on my book ;)
ineffective airway clearence, ineffective breathing patterns
airway inhalation
The essential cells of the lung that perform its main function are the alveolar cells, including type 1 pneumocytes for gas exchange and type 2 pneumocytes for surfactant production. Other important cells include macrophages for immune defense and ciliated epithelial cells for airway clearance.
yes you can nurse but it may hurt for some women - previous answer. I think you are asking for an actual "Nursing Diagnosis" - I would recommend the NANDA book for more precise answers. Remember to include the "related to" and "as evidenced by" which some classes will allow "r/t" and "aeb" as notations for those terms. Pain - acute or chronic. This is a common one. Circulation, altered. If there is lymph node involvement. There are also issues related to: Self-Concept, Self-Esteem, Body Image - Altered. because of the threat of removal of tumors, chemotherapy et. al. Risk for Infection (if on chemotherapy or radiation)
Airway is compromised because of trauma as it can affect brain, oropharynx, neck, and trachea, pulmonary system resulting in airway obstruction or respiratory problems. Aspiration of blood and gastric contents contribute to compromised airway. Also patients with low level of consciousness are at risk of not being able to protect their airway.
Stephen.L Underwood has written: 'Studies on the mechanisms of pulmonary inflammation and airway hyperreactivity in animal models of asthma'
Emphysema is a COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which means that there is poor airway due to resistance. The condition is characterized by a deterioration of the walls of the alveoli, which are the tiny air sacs that are needed for you to breath properly.
