    One collaborative intervention applicable for his impaired oxygenation includes the use of CPAP to ensure that he is receiving enough oxygen supply. As identified by Warner (2010 p.88), congestive heart failure as in Giovanni’s case, is an indication for the use of CPAP. He also outlined the criteria for CPAP administration, which include the use of accessory muscle, respiratory rate above 25 breaths/minute and O2Sat less than 94 per cent (p.88). Two of these criteria are displayed by Giovanni during his admission, which consists of O2Sat of 91 per cent and a respiratory rate of 26 breaths/minute. In conjunction with this, Wilkinson and Treas (2011 p.874) explained that CPAP provides positive pressure during inhalation and exhalation to patients by maintaining a patent airway.…

    Sleep Apnea Research Paper

    Sleep apnea is a common disorder where an individual’s breathing is briefly and repeatedly interrupted during sleep (Chieh-Lung Chou, Hsieh, Chen, Chang, Hang & Liang, 2015). The two types of sleep apnea are central sleep apnea and obstructive sleep apnea. Central sleep apnea is caused by an abnormality in the brain that does not send proper signals to the muscles that control breathing. The most common form of sleep apnea, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), is breathing that is interrupted due to relaxation muscles partially or completely obstructing the upper airway (Columbia Encyclopedia, 2016). Due to the airway being partially or completely blocked, there is usually 10 to 20 seconds of breathing cessation where the brain panics due to low…

However, it is important to warn rather than rushing into listening to the breadth sounds, the assessment ought to be done in an organized and logical approach. In addition, for the acutely ill patient, respiratory rate ought to be confirmed for a complete minute, instead of 30 seconds, and then doubled (Considine, 2005; Odell, Victor & Oliver, 2009). Respiratory rate should also be assessed and classified as eupnoea, tachypnoea, bradypnoea or hypopnea (Smith et al., 2011).…
