Abstract

Introduction: Impaired oxygenation is common in children with airway diseases, such as pneumonia, and can worsen if not treated promptly. One of the non-pharmacological interventions that can help is right lateral positioning to improve oxygen saturation. Purpose: This case study aims to determine the effect of tomato juice intervention on blood pressure in patients with hypertension. This case study aims to determine the effect of non-pharmacological intervention by giving right lateral positioning to improve oxygen saturation in infants with pneumonia. Methods: This research is a case study that applies Evidence Based Nursing (EBN) using the single subject study method, which focuses on observing and analyzing changes before and after the intervention. The intervention was provided through education and direct demonstration for 3 days to infants with pneumonia. Observations were made every two hours and carried out in one shift (8 hours). Results: The results showed an increase in oxygen saturation from 94% to 100% with the patient using a nasal cannula after the right lateral positioning intervention. Conclusion: Giving the right lateral positioning intervention can increase oxygen saturation in infants with pneumonia.
