Abstract
|
|
|
The purpose of this study was to compare chest percussion with chest vibration in brain injury patients. 30 patients in SICU of one general hospital in T city were randomely divided by 3 groups and the arterial oxygen tension(PaO2) and the retained secretion were measured. The chest vibration was done among the first group, the chest vibration by hand after the chest percussion was done among the second group and the mechanical chest vibration after the chest percussion was done among the third group.
The data was analyzed using SPSS 7.0 (5% significance) and the results are below.
1) It was adopted the hypothesis that the amount of retained secretion of endotracheal suction after stopping the actions among the first, second and the third groups is different from each other. (F=41.62, p=0.00)
2) It was rejected the hypothesis that the arterial oxygen tension(PaO2)s are different from each other among the first, second and third group. (F=1.22, p=0.31)
This study was done by grant of 2003 Kyungpook National University Research FundThe amount of the retained secretion after chest percussion, chest vibration by hand or mechanical chest vibration was significantly different from each other. Therefore, chest physiotherapy could be regarded as the effective nursing intervention for the unconscieus patients who have the inappropriate airway cleaness and it was more effective to be together than to be alone.
