Resumen
CHINA, Marco Fernando Neves et al. Respiratory kinesitherapy in critically ill patients with COVID-19: The Rehabilitation Nurse's intervention - Case study. RPER [online]. 2020, vol.3, suppl.1, pp.58-64. Epub 05-Ene-2022. ISSN 2184-965X. https://doi.org/10.33194/rper.2020.v3.s2.8.5796.
Aim:
This study aims to describe rehabilitation nurse interventions in Respiratory Kinesitherapy in critically ill with COVID-19 patient undergoing venovenous extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation and its response concerning to gasometric and ventilatory parameters before and after each session.
Methodology:
Case study of a 63-year-old person with history of obesity and high blood pressure. Retrospective data were collected from the clinical process, referring to a 38-day ICU stay.
Results:
The most performed techniques used in Respiratory Kinesitherapy by rehabilitation nurses were suctioning through closed system, vibrations, sudden decompression, selective costal openings, forced manual expiration, directed ventilation and mechanical in-exhaler. Globally, all sessions showed that there was an improvement in inspiratory and expiratory volumes, as well as in static compliance. Machanical in-exhaler was used after a week of hospital stay, after all other possible interventions were performed, and all outcomes showed global improvements, without any adverse events.
Conclusion: Implementation of structured and individualized respiratory kinesitherapy interventions can significantly benefit recovery of critical ill patients. Techniques that weren´t described for covid 19 cases were used effectively.
