Nebulization: Assist Patient With Obstructive Airway
Nebulization
PNSS (Neb q 8) a method of administering a drug by spraying it into the respiratory passages of the patient. The medication may be given with or without oxygen to help carry it into the lungs.
Indication:
Relieve and prevent bronchospasm in patient with obstructive airway.
Nursing Responsibilities * Assist client during nebulization. * Instruct to administer the nebulization at exact time and interval. * Notify physician if there is paradoxic bronchospasm occur during the therapy * Instruct the patient to report any untoward reactions such as fast-breathing and DOB. * Chestphysiotherapy every after nebulization.

Explain the procedure to the patient in general terms
2. Provide privacy with the client
3. Check tubing to be sure it is coiled in bed and draining.
4. Secure connections: retape as needed.
5. Observe for the amount, character and rate of drainage.
6. Watch out for leaks of air in the drainage system as indicated by constant bubbling in the water seal bottle.
Bronchoscopy is a technique of visualizing the inside of the airways for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. An instrument (bronchoscope) is inserted into the airways, usually through the nose or mouth, or occasionally through a tracheostomy.
Recovery after bronchoscopy
Bronchoscopy by either procedure usually takes between 30 to 60 minutes. You will be in recovery for 2 to 3 hours after the procedure. Following the procedure: * Are taking any medicines. * Are allergic to any medicines, including anesthetics. * Have had bleeding problems or take blood-thinners, such as aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), or warfarin (Coumadin).
* Do not eat or drink anything for about 2 hours, until you are able to swallow without choking. After that, you may resume your normal diet, starting with sips of …show more content…
These lighter or darker areas on the image may indicate a tumor or hemorrhage within the brain. Different types of tumors can be identified by the presence of edema, by the tissue's density, or by abnormal contrast enhancement. Congenital abnormalities in children, such as hydrocephalus, may also be confirmed with CT. Hydrocephalus is suggested by enlargement of the fluid structures, called ventricles, of the brain.
Body scans
The body scan can identify abnormal body structures and organs. Throughout the body, a CT scan may indicate tumors or cysts; enlarged lymph nodes; abnormal collections of fluid, blood, or fat; and metastasis of cancer. Fractures or damage to soft tissues can be more easily seen on the sensitive images produced by CT scanning. Liver conditions, such as cirrhosis, abscess, and fatty liver, may be observed with a CT body scan. *
You will be asked to lie on a narrow table that slides into the center of the CT scanner. Depending on the study being done, you may need to lie on your stomach, back, or
