| dc.description.abstract | Tuberculosis is an infectious and potentially fatal disease in worldwide, caused by lungs
inflammation due to Mycobacterium bacteria infection. Tuberculosis patient experiences
coughing with phlegm, shortness of breath or dyspnea, accumulation of exudate or sputum.
Excessive of sputum accumulated can lead to obstruction of breath way and increase lungs
infection that related to ineffective airway clearance. Chest physiotherapy can be
intervention of nursing to overcome ineffective airway clearance that helps in clearing
accumulated sputum and improving oxygen saturation. This scientific work uses a case
report method that describes the case of Tuberculosis patient with main problem of nursing
that was called ineffective airway clearance. The sampling was consecutive sampling but
only one patient included in the case. The sample of study was Mrs. M, 32 years old who
had Tuberculosis patient with ineffective airway clearance. The research was conducted
twice daily for 3 days began from December 21st, 2023, to December 23rd, 2023, in the
Dieng Inpatient Room of dr. Abdoer Rahem Hospital Situbondo. Intervention was done in
two sessions, that were morning and afternoon. Based on observations, there was no
significant difference on blood pressure level, but there were decreasing pulse rate,
decreasing respiratory rate, increasing oxygen saturation value, and improving ability of
sputum production post intervention Chest Physiotherapy on the third day. The application
of Chest Physiotherapy quietly helped in expelling phlegm and improving respiratory status. | en_US |
