A new type of viral pneumonia was discovered on December 31, 2019 from Wuhan, China, which was named as Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). COVID-19 primarily attacks the respiratory system that can disruption fulfillment of oxygen characterized by shortness of breath and decreased oxygen saturation. The main nursing problem found is that the airway is not effective. The purpose of this scientific work to describe the results of nursing analysis by using application of pursed lips breathing to increase oxygen saturation in COVID-19 client in High Care Unit Universitas Indonesia Hospital. Measurement evaluation was conducted using Pulse oximetry which showed an average increase in oxygen saturation from 94.75% to 96.75% over five days of treatment. In conclusion, pursed lips breathing is given to help overcome the ineffectiveness clearance the airway by increasing the development of alveoli on each lung lobe so that the pressure of alveoli increases, helping to push the secret on the airway during an expiratory and can induce a pattern of breath into normal. Therefore, the results of this practice can be used as a reference for nursing practice in COVID-19 patients with disruption fulfillment of oxygen.
Anak dengan pneumonia berisiko mengalami penurunan nilai saturasi oksigen yang mempengaruhi pernapasan hingga terjadi komplikasi hipoksemia. Jika tidak ditangani dapat mengakibatkan kematian. Salah satu intervensi modifikasi PLB meniup mainan kincir angin dapat dilakukan untuk meningkatkan nilai saturasi oksigen, sehingga risiko bertambahnya jumlah kematian anak akibat pneumonia dapat dihindari. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui adanya pengaruh modifikasi PLB meniup mainan kincir angin terhadap nilai saturasi oksigen pada anak pra sekolah pasca pneumonia. Desain penelitian adalah quasi eksperimental pre-posttest with control group design. Responden berjumlah 30 orang anak usia pra sekolah dengan pneumonia (15 orang anak kelompok intervensi, 15 orang anak kelompok kontrol) dan dipilih dengan cara consecutive sampling. Izin etik penelitian diperoleh dari tim etik Universitas Indonesia dan tim etik dari Rumah Sakit Umum Daerah kota Bekasi. Analisis yang dilakukan adalah univariate dan bivariate. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan ada perbedaan bermakna pada nilai saturasi oksigen antara kelompok intervensi dan kelompok kontrol (p=0,018 < ,05) Rekomendasi untuk penelitian selanjutnya adalah agar menggunakan True Eksperiment dengan sampel yang lebih besar serta tidak hanya terbatas pada PLB namun dapat juga diukur kemampuan meniupnya.
Pediatric with pneumonia are at risk of experiencing a decrease in oxygen saturation value that affect breathing, causing complications of hypoxemia. If not treated it can be caused of death. One of the modified interventions PLB blowing windmill can be done to increase the oxygen saturation value, there for the risk of increasing the number of children deaths due to post pneumonia can be avoided. The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of blowing windmill on the oxygen saturation value of post pneumonia preschool children. The study design was a quasi experimental pre-posttest with control group design. Respondents were 30 preschool age with pneumonia (15 = blowing windmill and 15= control group) and selected by consecutive sampling. Ethics permission was obtained from the ethics team of the University of Indonesia and the ethics team from the regional general hospital of Bekasi city. The analysis performed were Univariate and bivariate. The result showed a difference in oxygen saturation values between the intervention group and the control group (p=0,018<.05). Recommendations for futher studies are to use The true experiment with a larger sample and not only limited to PLB but can also measure the ability to blow.
