The Effect of Precise Aerosol Inhalation Nursing on Sputum Excretion in Elderly Patients With Lung Surgery

Study on the Effect of Precise Aerosol Inhalation Nursing Program on Effective Sputum Excretion in Elderly Patients With Lung Surgery

Comparing the effects of different kinds of aerosol inhalation nursing programs on effective sputum excretion in elderly patients with lung surgery.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Based on the traditional oxygen aerosol inhalation treatment, this study will improve it. In the process, precise body position care, time control, observation and treatment, evaluation, etc. will be used to form a precise aerosol inhalation care plan. To explore the effect of this program on effective sputum excretion in elderly patients undergoing lung surgery.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Standardization of aerosol inhalation
Time Frame: From the first to the third day after surgery.
The investigators use a self-made inhalation implementation standard evaluation form to evaluate whether inhalation was standard in postoperative patients.
From the first to the third day after surgery.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Adverse events
Time Frame: From the first to the third day after surgery.
Discomfort during inhalation: chest tightness, dyspnea, palpitations, elevated blood pressure, etc.
From the first to the third day after surgery.
Viscosity of sputum
Time Frame: From the first to the third day after surgery.
According to the viscosity, the sputum was divided into three types: ⅰ degree (thin phlegm), ⅱ degree (moderate phlegm), ⅲ degree (severe phlegm).
From the first to the third day after surgery.
Phlegm retention
Time Frame: From the first to the third day after surgery.
Sputum sounds can be heard or ausculted at the bedside.
From the first to the third day after surgery.
Patient satisfaction
Time Frame: The third day after surgery.
Likert 5-level scoring method was adopted to allow patients to evaluate the nursing plan. The higher the score, the more satisfied the patients were.
The third day after surgery.
