While
receiving report on your patients, you find out that Mr.
Jones in bed 5 is on BiPAP® for pulmonary edema. During
your assessment of Mr. Jones, his BiPAP® machine alarms
several times. Are you prepared to assess and respond
to his needs?
It
used to be that a patient on a ventilator would be in
the ICU. Many ventilated patients are now being managed
on regular floors, in nursing homes, or even at home.
Therefore, it is important for all nurses to understand
how to assess and manage patients on mechanical ventilation.
Do
you manage patients with:
- CPAP?
- BiPAP®?
- Ventilators?
These
are all methods of mechanical (positive pressure) ventilation.
If you care for these kinds of patients, then you must
possess an understanding of how mechanical ventilation
works, and how to assess ventilated patients to decrease
complications.
