Nursing care
Nursing care can have a tremendous impact in improving efficiency of the patient’s respiration and ventilation and increasing the chance for recovery. To detect changes in respiratory status early, assess the patient’s tissue oxygenation status regularly. Evaluate ABG results and indices of end-organ perfusion. Keep in mind that the brain is extremely sensitive to O2 supply; decreased O2 can lead toan altered mental status. Also, know that angina signals inade.
quate coronary artery perfusion. In addition, stay alert for conditions that can impair O2 delivery, suchas elevated temperature, anemia,impaired cardiac output, acidosis,
