Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis may impair ventilation and increase the work of breathing, placing patients at risk of an ineffective breathing pattern. This case report describes nursing support for ventilation through nurse-led interventions of pursed-lips breathing (PLB) and the semi-Fowler position in a pulmonary tuberculosis patient with an ineffective breathing pattern diagnosis. A descriptive single case report was prepared following CARE guidelines and the nursing process. Observation was conducted for 24 hours in a 69-year-old male patient in the emergency department of RS TK II Pelamonia Makassar. Outcomes were recorded consistently at baseline (March 17, 2025, 10.00 WITA) and at 24-hour follow-up, including respiratory rate (RR), oxygen saturation (SpO₂), signs of respiratory distress, and dyspnea using the Modified Borg Dyspnea Scale. Nurse-led interventions (semi-Fowler 30–45° and structured PLB) were implemented alongside collaborative therapy (oxygen via nasal cannula at 4 L/min and nebulized combivent/pulmicort) as prescribed. Clinical improvement was observed in this case, indicated by a decrease in RR from 25 to 22 breaths/min, an increase in SpO₂ from 96% to 100%, and a decrease in Borg score from 5/10 to 3/10, accompanied by reduced accessory muscle use. Conclusion: the nursing care package (PLB and semi-Fowler position) together with collaborative therapy was followed by improved breathing outcomes in a single pulmonary TB case; causality and generalization are limited and further studies are needed.

Abstract

Laceration wounds (vulnus laceratum) may cause pain and external bleeding, requiring prompt initial management to prevent excessive blood loss. One simple early bleeding control strategy is direct pressure maintained with a pressure dressing. This case report describes the use of a sterile pressure dressing in a male patient (Mr. L) with a left plantar foot wound due to glass injury, accompanied by pain and active bleeding, presenting to the emergency unit of Liwuto Primary Health Center, Baubau. Data were obtained through clinical observation, brief interview, and review of available medical records/procedure sheets. Pain was assessed using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), while bleeding outcome was operationalized using bleeding status (active/controlled), dressing status (wet/dry), and time to hemostasis. After sterile pressure dressing application and 4-hour monitoring, pain decreased from NRS 8 to 3, and active bleeding was no longer observed at the 4-hour evaluation. These findings indicate clinical improvement in this case, but interpretation is limited by single-case design (n=1) without controls, incomplete quantitative serial bleeding documentation, and potential confounding from concomitant interventions (e.g., analgesics).

Abstract

Head injury is a traumatic disturbance of brain function that may or may not be accompanied by interstitial bleeding within the brain substance (2,4,5). Emergency management aims to prevent secondary brain injury, including optimizing ventilation/oxygenation and cerebral perfusion, as well as patient positioning. A common non-invasive measure is 30° head elevation (Head-Up) to facilitate cerebral venous drainage. To describe changes in consciousness level (Glasgow Coma Scale/GCS) following the application of a 30° Head-Up position in a patient with moderate head injury in the emergency department. A single-patient case report in the emergency department of RSUD Sayang Rakyat Makassar. The primary Outcome was serial GCS recorded at baseline before elevation (T0) and during observation until transfer. Head-Up 30° was an independent nursing intervention; oxygen therapy was recorded as collaborative therapy. A 50-year-old male (Mr. R) with moderate head injury and subdural hemorrhage. At T0 (10:15 WITA) GCS was 3-3-5; at 10:45 WITA it remained 3-3-5; it increased to 3-3-6 at 12:50 WITA and remained 3-3-6 until 13:54 WITA when the patient was transferred to the operating room. Available observation lasted approximately 3 hours 39 minutes; the planned 8-hour follow-up was not completed due to definitive transfer. In this case, 30° head elevation (with collaborative oxygen therapy) was followed by an improvement in GCS from 3-3-5 to 3-3-6 during ED observation. As descriptive evidence, this report cannot establish causality but supports the use of 30° Head-Up as part of non-invasive early management for head injury.

Abstract

Pneumonia with bilateral pleural effusion may cause dyspnea due to reduced lung expansion and increased work of breathing. This case report describes clinical changes following an adjunct intervention package consisting of Airway management combined with a hand-held fan (HHF) and Deep breathing exercise (DBE) in the emergency department. A 35-year-old male presented with worsening dyspnea accompanied by chest pain and productive cough; baseline assessment showed a respiratory rate of 28 breaths/min and SpO₂ of 91%, and supplemental oxygen was administered as prescribed. The sequential intervention package (total ~5 minutes) included Airway management (semi-Fowler positioning, breathing-control education, and effective coughing/huff cough), HHF directed to the face at a distance of approximately 15–20 cm for ~2 minutes, and DBE for 5–10 repetitions (inhalation 2–3 s, hold 1–2 s, slow exhalation 4–6 s). Outcomes were assessed by comparing respiratory rate and SpO₂ at baseline and immediately after completing the package (~1 minute after DBE), along with the patient’s subjective dyspnea report. The patient reported reduced dyspnea, with respiratory rate decreasing to 22 breaths/min and SpO₂ increasing to 96%. Conclusion: the Airway-management plus HHF and DBE package was followed by clinical improvement in this case; however, generalizability is limited by the single-case design without control, lack of stage-by-stage measurements, absence of a standardized dyspnea scale, and potential confounding from concurrent medical therapies.

Abstract

Pneumonia is a lower respiratory tract infection that may cause secretion retention, crackles, tachypnea, and reduced oxygenation, requiring measurable airway clearance and oxygen support in the emergency department. This case report describes clinical improvement in a single case following a combination of Chest Physiotherapy (CPT) and oxygen therapy. The patient presented with dyspnea, productive cough, and fever. Baseline assessment showed crackles, thick sputum difficult to expectorate, RR 27–28 breaths/min, SpO₂ 93%, temperature 38°C, and chest X-ray infiltrates consistent with pneumonia. The primary nursing diagnosis supported ineffective airway clearance with the need for oxygenation support. Interventions included structured CPT (postural drainage, percussion/vibration, deep-breathing, and effective coughing) and oxygen via nasal cannula titrated to target saturation. Outcomes were assessed quantitatively at T0 (baseline), T1 (after one session, ~1–2 h), and T2 (~24 h): RR, SpO₂, lung sounds, sputum characteristics, dyspnea (Borg 0–10), accessory muscle use, and temperature. Gradual clinical improvement was observed (RR 27–28 to 22 breaths/min; SpO₂ 93% to 96%), with reduced crackles, easier sputum expectoration, decreased dyspnea, and lower temperature. Generalization is limited due to the single-case design and concurrent medical therapies.
