Artificial airway and mechanical ventilation

V diplomskem delu smo opisali umetno dihalno pot in mehansko ventilacijo ter predstavili specifične naloge izvajalcev zdravstvene nege pri obravnavi bolnikov z umetno dihalno potjo in mehansko ventilacijo. Pri izdelavi diplomskega dela smo uporabili deskriptivno metodo dela. Pri tem nam je bila v pomoč slovenska in tuja literatura, s katero smo predstavili teoretična izhodišča. Raziskava je temeljila na kvantitativni metodologiji dela. Izvedli smo študijo, podatke smo zbrali s pomočjo anketnega vprašalnika. Anketirali smo izvajalce zdravstvene nege, ki so zaposleni na Oddelku za anestezijo, intenzivno terapijo in terapijo bolečin ter na Oddelku za internistično intenzivno terapijo Univerzitetnega kliničnega centra Maribor. Rezultati raziskave so potrdili, da izvajalci zdravstvene nege upoštevajo ukrepe za preprečevanje bolnišničnih okuţb povezanih z umetno dihalno potjo in mehansko ventilacijo ter standarde aktivnosti zdravstvene nege pri izvajanju zdravstvene nege ter da sta aspiracija sekreta iz dihalnih poti in nadzor nad umetno dihalno potjo najpomembnejši nalogi pri bolniku z umetno dihalno potjo in mehansko ventilacijo. Zapleti, povezani z umetno dihalno potjo in mehansko ventilacijo, se pojavljajo redko. Izvajalci zdravstvene nege so seznanjeni z uporabo vseh pripomočkov, namenjenih vzdrţevanju proste dihalne poti in mehanske ventilacije ter z najnovejšimi smernicami za vzdrţevanje umetne dihalne poti in mehanske ventilacije.In this diploma paper we describe respiration and mechanical ventilation. We also describe work and various specific tasks of nursing in the treatment of patients with artificial respiration and mechanical ventilation. In this diploma paper we used the descriptive method of work. To write and complete this certificate of qualification we used Slovene and foreign literature with which we presented the theoretical background. This survey was based on the quantitative methodology of work. We conducted a study, data and all other information was gathered with questionnaires. We surveyed health care providers who are employed at the Department of Intensive Care at the University Medical Center Maribor. The survey results confirmed that all the medical care and nursing staff are taking measures to prevent different hospital infections that are associated and connected with artificial respiration and mechanical ventilation. We also looked into all the standard activities of medical care and medical staff. We also realized that aspiration of nasal secretions and control of artificial respiration are the most important tasks of the medical care staff. Complications associated with artificial respiration and mechanical ventilation rarely occure. Nursing personnel is familiar with all the medical equipment and its usage that is provided to maintain regular, normal breathing and mechanical ventilation. Medical staff is also informed on all the latest information and guidelines for maintenance of artificial respiration and medical ventilation
