Techniques for administering inhaled medicines to patients with bronchial asthma in nursing practice

Bronchial asthma due to complex etiopathogenesis, the frequency of exacerbations is a serious medical and social problem [10]. At the root of the disease lies the chronic inflammatory process, which is the main cause of symptoms [5,18]. In the therapy of bronchial asthma, the basis is drugs administered directly to the affected area of the inflammatory process by various inhalation techniques. Ignorance of drug inhalation techniques and/or failure of the patient/caregivers to make pharmacotherapy recommendations is associated with a risk of many side effects. In order for patient therapy to be safe and effective, it is necessary to carry out large-scale educational activities both among medical staff as well as patients and their caregivers in the field of aerosol therapy techniques. Streszczenie Astma oskrzelowa ze względu na złożoną etiopatogenezę, częstość zaostrzeń stanowi poważny problem medyczny jak i społeczny [10]. U podłoża choroby leży przewlekły proces zapalny, który jest główną przyczyną objawów [5,18]. W terapii astmy oskrzelowej podstawę stanowią leki podawane bezpośrednio do miejsca objętego procesem zapalnych za pomocą różnych technik inhalacyjnych. Nieznajomość technik inhalacji leków i / lub niestosowanie się pacjenta / jego opiekunów do zaleceń w zakresie farmakoterapii wiąże się z ryzykiem wielu działań niepożądanych. Aby terapia pacjentów była bezpieczna i skuteczna konieczne jest prowadzenie na szeroką skalę działań edukacyjnych zarówno wśród personelu medycznego jak też pacjentów i ich opiekunów z zakresu technik aerozoloterapii. Słowa kluczowe: astma oskrzelowa, techniki aerozoloterapii

Education on the subject of modified nutrition principles and their impact on the course of the disease, prevention of complications, length and quality of life of the child is a function of the therapy set

The role of nursing staff in the nutritional therapy of a child with cystic fibrosis

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is classified as a rare genetic disease and at the same time is the most common inherited disease in an autosomal recessive way. In Poland the disease is diagnosed in 1 in 4394-5000 live neonatal births [7, 9]. CF is a systemic chronic disease with progressive progression, incurable [10]. The cause of most problems in patients with CF are: chronic obstructive lesions and respiratory tract infections and impaired digestion processes with their consequences. The basis in the patient care of CF is the education of the patient/his caregivers in the prevention and treatment of bronchopulmonary disease and modified nutrition rules

Concerns of patients with bronchial asthma against the use of inhaled glucocorticosteroids Obawy pacjentów z astmą oskrzelową przed stosowaniem glikokortykosteroidów wziewnych Iwona Czerwińska Pawluk – Radomska Szkoła Wyższa w Radomiu, Uniwersytecki Szpital Dziecięcy w Lublinie Elwira Paula Pawluk – Uniwersytecki Szpital Dziecięcy w Lublinie Angelo Daniel Szymaszek - Uniwersytecki Szpital Dziecięcy w Lublinie Walery Zukow - Uniwersytet Mikołaja Kopernika w Toruniu Abstrakt W literaturze medycznej opisywana jest problematyka występuącego u pacjentów z astmą oskrzelową lęku, strachu przed stosowaniem leków z grupy glikokortykosteroidów i ich skutkami ubocznymi. Często niczym nie uzasadnione obawy pacjentów są przyczyną nie stosowania się do zaleceń terapeutycznych, co z kolei skutkuje brakiem efektów terapeutycznych [24]. Aby przeciwdziałać temu niekorzystnemu zjawisku, zwiększyć bezpieczeństwo i skuteczność terapii pacjentów z astmą oskrzelową należy prowadzić na szeroką skalę działania edukacyjne zarówno wśród personelu medycznego jak też pacjentów na temat znaczenia glikokortykosteroidów w terapii astmy oskrzelwej i ich wpływu na stopień kontroli choroby. Słowa kluczowe: astma oskrzelowa, glikokortykosteroidy. Abstract The medical literature describes the problem of anxiety and fear of using glucocorticosteroid drugs and their side effects in patients with bronchial asthma. Frequently, unjustified fears of patients are the cause of non-compliance with therapeutic recommendations, which in turn results in the lack of therapeutic effects [24]. In order to counteract this unfavorable phenomenon, to increase the safety and effectiveness of therapy in patients with bronchial asthma, large-scale educational activities should be carried out both among medical staff and patients on the importance of glucocorticosteroids in the treatment of bronchial asthma and their impact on the degree of control of the disease. Key words: bronchial asthma, glucocorticoids
