To Maintain Patent Airway. (-: Surgical Nursing: Clinical Management For Positive Outcomes (Vol. 1)

Patient J.M.C. presented with shortness of breath due to pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Nursing interventions included positioning the patient in high-fowlers position, elevating the head of the bed, and instructing chest physiotherapy to help loosen secretions and maintain an open airway. Suctioning was performed as needed. The goals of treatment were to maintain a patent airway, allow the patient to expectorate phlegm, and alleviate wheezing.
