Penerapan Intervensi Pursed-Lips Breathing Meningkatkan Arus Puncak Ekspirasi pada Pasien Penyakit Paru Obstruksi Kronik

This study aims to determine the magnitude of the effect of pursed-lip breathing (PLB) exercises on increasing the highest flow achieved by maximal expiration peak expiratory flow (APE) in COPD patients at Jakarta Islamic Hospital Cempaka Putih based on the latest research results (evidence-based Nursing Practice). This study uses a quantitative method with a type of quantitative experimental research with a quasi-experimental approach. The results showed that the results of APE measurements before and after PLB breathing exercises to male COPD sufferers at the Jakarta Islamic Hospital showed that, in general, the effects of APE before and after PLB breathing exercises on Day-1 were 278.3 liters or minutes and general after PLB Day-1 breathing exercise was 290.0 greater. From the results of the T-Test experiment, it can be interpreted that there is a significant comparison between APE before and after PLB with the number P = 0.000 or statistically in general APE before and after PLB is smaller than in general in male respondents by (290.0– 278.3 =11.7). In conclusion, age is related to the increased value of pulmonary ventilation function in COPD patients. Age may explain the increased peak expiratory pulmonary flow in COPD patients. Thus there is a significant relationship between age and an increase in the height expiratory flow (APE) value of COPD patients after receiving pursed-lips breathing intervention.   Keywords: Peak Expiratory Flow, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Pursed-Lip Breathing &nbsp

Penerapan Pronasi dan Semi Fowler terhadap Peningkatan Saturasi Oksigen pada Pasien COVID-19

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of prone and semi-fowler positions on oxygen saturation in COVID-19 pneumonia patients at the Jakarta Islamic Hospital Cempaka Putih. The quantitative method uses quasi-experimental data analysis techniques with a two-group preintervention-postintervention design. The results of the bivariate analysis with the T-test showed the value of Sig. P ≥ 0.05 found that the average before and after holding the prone position was 97%, and the pre-and post-intervention standards in the semi-Fowler class were 95% oxygen saturation. The value of this difference in oxygen saturation is influenced by age, sex, BMI, and HB, so the results affect the difference in pronation position, which is more effective than semi-fowler with the criterion of increasing oxygen saturation above the standard oximeter value, where pronation intervention in COVID-19 patients is more effective from semi fowler with the measure of an increase in oxygen saturation above 95%. In conclusion, there are different changes in oxygen saturation before and after the prone, and semi-fowler positions are carried out in COVID-19 pneumonia patients at the Jakarta Islamic Hospital Cempaka Putih.   Keywords: COVID-19, Pronation, Oxygen Saturation, Semi Fowle
