Proceso de atención de enfermería en paciente de 55 años con insuficiencia respiratoria.

Respiratory failure is the inability to develop correct breathing when this anomaly occurs carbon dioxide can be retained causing hypercapnia, when this type of syndrome exists it is important to establish a treatment plan and definitive diagnosis of what is the cause or factor risky. There are two main types of respiratory failure which can be divided into hypoxemia and hypercapnia. Hypoxemia is defined by partial saturation of oxygen in the blood below 90%, while breathing a fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2), while hypercapnic respiratory failure is characterized by alveolar hypoventilation. The present clinical case is based on a 55-year-old patient with respiratory insufficiency, who presented a symptomatological picture such as dyspnea, nasal flaring, exhaustion and mild cough for more than 5 days, the dyspnea appeared 10 hours ago. He does not present hyperthermia, nor alteration in blood pressure. This case study is carried out based on the general objective of developing the nursing care process in a 55-year-old patient with respiratory failure. Diagnostic methods were used, the severity of bronchial asthma was identified and treatment for respiratory failure was decided. High-flow oxygen therapy was used to treat respiratory failure, and the administration of medications such as dexamethasone, atrovent, and sodium chloride were administered through nebulization for a greater effect on the patient's airway. Once the treatments have been carried out, the respiratory insufficiency is reduced, improving the stability of the patient and the oxygen saturation.
