Background: Intensive care unit patients who have been admitted are susceptible to hypoxemia associated with hepatic diseases and ascites. Hypoxemia should be detected at an early stage to prevent serious consequences. Aim: Assess the effect of the implementation nursing measures about hypoxemia for critically ill patients suffering from ascites at medical intensive care unit. Design: An experimental quasi-design. Setting: This study was performed at the Medical Intensive Care Unit at Tanta Main University Hospital. Subjects: Purposive sampling of 80 adult patients with hypoxemia and meeting all inclusion criteria were separated into two equal groups, with each group including 40 patients. Tools: Three tools were used in the process of data collecting. Tool (I): Critically Ill Hepatic Patients Assessment Tool. Tool (II): Hypoxemia Indicators Assessment Tool. Tool (III): The Ascites Symptom Inventory-7 for (ASI-7) Scale Assessment. Result: The main results revealed an improvement in relation to physiological parameters, respiratory assessment in study than control group, significant difference between patients in the study group regarding body temperature with P=0.000. Statistically significant difference was observed related to oxygen saturation, dyspnea and chest pain assessment among the control and study group with P=0.000. Conclusion: Nursing measures had a positive effect on decreasing hypoxemia by improving oxygen saturation, physiological parameters and reducing dyspnea, chest pain. Recommendation: Data generalizability via replication of the same research using a bigger probability sample in other geographic regions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
