APPLICATION OF PHYSIOTHERAPY PROCEDURES IN CHILD PATIENTS WITH IN EFFECTIVE AIRWAY CLEAN: LITERATURE REVIEW

Abstract

Ineffective airway clearance is the inability to remove secretions or airway obstruction in order to maintain the airway and maintain a clean airway. If not treated immediately, it can cause serious problems such as shortness of breath, respiratory failure and even death. One of the nursing care provided by nurses is chest physiotherapy, which is a therapeutic action carried out by means of postural drainage, clapping and vibrating to help clear the airway naturally by reducing or preventing airway obstruction from secretions.

This literature review uses the literature review method with 10 research journals as sources of literature. This study discusses in depth the concept of ineffective airway clearance, the effect of chest physiotherapy procedures in an effort to remove secretions.

From 10 journal articles that have been analyzed, physiotherapy has a significant effect on sputum production in children and maintaining airway patency.

Physiotherapy affects sputum production in children with ineffective airway clearance.
