USING APNEA PANDS IN CHILDREN WITH BREATHING PROBLEMS

Apnea ali pavza dihanja je prekinitev dihanja, ki traja več kot 20 sekund, lahko pa tudi manj (10 do 20 sekund), če je prekinitvi dihanja pridružen padec saturacije in pulza (pod 100 na minuto). V veliko pomoč nam je apnea blazinica za zaznavanje prekinitve dihanja, ki z alarmom opozori na prekinitev ali upočasnitev dihanja otroka. Diplomsko delo opisuje tudi anatomijo, histologijo in fiziologijo dihal, rizične skupine otrok, bolezni pri katerih lahko pride do apnee ali prekinitve dihanja ter naloge medicinske sestre pri otroku z motnjami dihanja. Namen diplomskega dela je predstaviti pomembnost apnea blazinic, ki jih uporabljajo za signalizacijo zastoja dihanja ali apnee. Raziskovalna metodologija. Raziskava je temeljila na kvantitativni metodologiji in deskriptivni metodi dela. Tehnika zbiranja podatkov je bil anketni vprašalnik, ki je vseboval 24 vprašanj odprtega in zaprtega tipa. V raziskavi je sodelovalo 30 članov negovalnega tima v Splošni bolnišnici na Hrvaškem. Podatke, pridobljene v raziskavi, smo uredili, grafično oblikovali in prikazali s pomočjo računalniških programov Microsoft Word in Microsof Excel. Rezultati. Na podlagi analize pridobljenih rezultatov smo ugotovili, da je osebje v negovalnem timu seznanjeno s načinom delovanja apnea blazinic, ter da meni, da je to zanesljiv signal za dihanje otroka, pomemben pripomoček ter preprost pripomoček za rokovanje in so zadovoljni z uporabo ter bi jih priporočali sorodnikom ali prijateljem. Sklep. Raziskava je pokazala pomanjkljivosti glede strokovnih navodil za uporabo apnea blazinic, pomanjkljivosti znanja glede bolezni pri katerih se pojavlja apnea, večina anketiranih pa ni imela dodatnega izobraževanje oz. seminarja s področja apnea blazinic.Apnea or pause in breathing is interrupted breathing which lasts more than 20 seconds, but it can also less (10 to 20 seconds), if the interruption of breathing and an associated drop in saturation pause (of less than 100 per minute). In a lot of help us to detect pauses in breathing is apnea pands which shall alarm to interrupt or slow breathing child. The thesis describes the anatomy, histology and physiology of the respiratory tract, risk groups of children, the diseases that may lead to apnea or pauses in breathing and the task of nurse in a child with breathing difficulties. The purpose of this thesis was to present the importance of apnea pands used by signaling to respiratory failure or apnea. Research methodology. The survey was based on quantitative methodology and descriptive method. The technique of data collection was a questionare which consisted 24 questions open and closed type. The study included 30 members of the nursing team in the General hospital in Croatia. The information obtained in the survey we have arranged, graphic designed and displayed using computer programs Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel. Results. According to the analysis of the acquired information, we established that the person in the nursing team familiar with the operation mode apnea pands and they considering that this is a reliable signal for breathing child, an important tool and a simple tool for handing, they are satisfaction with using and they will recommending them to friends or relatives. Conclusion. The study found shortcoming in the professional instruction of using apnea pands, shortcomings of knowledge regarding the disease which occurring apnea, most the responders didin´t have a additionall education or seminar in the field apnea pands
