Care essential 10
Educate the patient and family.
Seeing a loved one attached to a
mechanical ventilator is frightening.
To ease distress in the patient and
family, teach them why mechanical
ventilation is needed and emphasize
the positive outcomes it can
provide. Each time you enter the
patient’s room, explain what you’re
doing. Reinforce the need and reason
for multiple assessments and
procedures, such as laboratory tests
and X-rays. Communicate desired
outcomes and progression toward
outcomes so the patient and family
can actively participate in the plan
of care.
Caring for a patient on mechanical
ventilation requires teamwork,
knowledge of care goals, and interventions
based on best practices,
patient needs, and response to therapy.
Mechanical ventilation has become
a common treatment, and
nurses must be knowledgeable and
confident when caring for ventilator
patients.
