The Effects of Modified Pursed Lips Breathing on Oxygenation Status in Children

Teoria de Médio Alcance do Padrão Respiratório Ineficaz em Crianças com Cardiopatia Congênita

Resumo Objetivo: desenvolver e avaliar uma teoria de médio alcance para o Diagnóstico de Enfermagem de Padrão Respiratório Ineficaz em crianças com cardiopatia congênita. Método: um estudo metodológico realizado em duas etapas: 1) desenvolvimento de uma teoria de médio alcance para padrão respiratório ineficaz em crianças com doenças cardíacas congênitas a partir da análise da taxonomia NANDA-Internacional, modelo de adaptação de Callista Roy e uma revisão da literatura; e 2) avaliação da teoria de médio alcance desenvolvida por meio da avaliação de painéis de especialistas. Resultados: após três avaliações de painéis, a versão final da teoria de médio alcance resultou em quatro metaparadigmas, dois conceitos-chave, dois diagramas pictóricos, duas propostas e uma descrição das inter-relações entre os conceitos-chave do Padrão Respiratório Ineficaz em crianças com cardiopatias congênitas e evidências para a prática de Enfermagem. Conclusão: a teoria do médio alcance desenvolvida e avaliada por especialistas identificou estímulos e comportamentos que podem auxiliar os enfermeiros na identificação das razões pelas quais o Padrão Respiratório Ineficaz é diagnosticado e como ele se manifesta em crianças com cardiopatia congênita, aumentando a compreensão das relações entre as causas e sua temporalidade.

Middle-Range Theory of Ineffective Breathing Pattern in children with Congenital Heart Disease

OBJECTIVE

to develop and evaluate a middle-range theory for the Nursing Diagnosis of Ineffective Breathing Pattern in children with congenital heart disease.

METHOD

a methodological study carried out in two stages: 1) development of a middle- range theory for Ineffective Breathing Pattern in children with congenital heart diseases from the analysis of the NANDA-International taxonomy, Callista Roy's Adaptation Model and a literature review; and 2) assessment of the middle-range theory developed using expert panel evaluation.

RESULTS

after three panel evaluations, the final version of the middle-range theory resulted in four metaparadigms, two key concepts, two pictorial diagrams, two propositions and a description of the interrelationships between the key concepts of Ineffective Breathing Pattern in children with congenital heart diseases and evidence for the Nursing practice.

CONCLUSION

the middle-range theory developed and evaluated by experts identified stimuli and behaviors that can assist nurses in identifying the reasons why Ineffective Breathing Pattern is diagnosed and how it manifests itself in children with congenital heart disease, increasing understanding of the relationships between the causes and their temporality.

Teoría de Mediano Alcance del Patrón de Respiración Ineficiente en niños con cardiopatías congénitas

Resumen Objetivo: desarrollar y evaluar una teoría de mediano alcance para el Diagnóstico de Enfermería “Patrón de Respiración Ineficiente” en niños con cardiopatías congénitas. Método: estudio metodológico desarrollado en dos etapas: 1) Desarrollo de una teoría de mediano alcance para el Patrón de Respiración Ineficiente en niños con cardiopatías congénitas a partir del análisis de la taxonomía NANDA-Internacional, del Modelo de Adaptación de Callista Roy y de una revisión de la literatura; y 2) Evaluación de la teoría de mediano alcance desarrollada por medio de una evaluación de un panel de expertos. Resultados: después de tres evaluaciones a cargo del panel, la versión final de la teoría de mediano alcance derivó en cuatro metaparadigmas, dos conceptos clave, dos pictogramas, dos propuestas y una descripción de las interrelaciones entre los conceptos clave del Patrón de Respiración Ineficiente en niños con cardiopatías congénitas y evidencia para la práctica de Enfermería. Conclusión: la teoría de mediano alcance desarrollada y evaluada por expertos identificó estímulos y comportamientos que pueden ayudar a los enfermeros a identificar los motivos por los cuales se diagnostica el Patrón de Respiración Ineficiente y cómo se manifiesta en niños con cardiopatías congénitas, mejorando así la comprensión de las relaciones entre las causas y su temporalidad.

Blow pinwheels improve oxygen saturation of preschool children with post pneumonia in outpatient pediatric departement

This study aimed to recognize the Pursed Lips Breathing (PLB) modification effect by blowing pinwheel to the oxygen saturation of preschool children with post pneumonia. Also, to analyze the oxygen saturation value of the preschool children with pneumonia on the intervention group and the control group and to recognize the differences. This study design was quasi experimental pre-posttest with control group design. The participants were 30 preschool children with post pneumonia (15 children were in the intervention group, 15 were in the control group) and were chosen by consecutive sampling. This study showed significant differences on oxygen saturation between the intervention group and control group (p=0.018<0.05). Blowing pinwheel affected the oxygen saturation of the preschool age with pneumonia on the intervention group but none on the control group. The results of this study can be used as the basis and reference for the hospital in making policies, as founded that blowing pinwheel affected the oxygen saturation escalation of the preschool children with pneumonia after several exercises. This activity was recommended to be implemented at the hospital as the treatment for the outpatient children with pneumonia and to be carried on at home for the preschool children who were able to perform independently. The recommendation for the further study was to use a true experiment with a larger sample and was not limited to PLB but also to measure the ability to blow.
