Nursing care of children with respiratory diseases
1. Improve children's comfort.

(1) Carry out various treatment and nursing operations as much as possible. Ensure that children have enough rest time.

② Clean nasal cavity and throat secretions in time to ensure unobstructed respiratory tract. Pay attention to ventilation, keep the indoor air fresh, and keep the temperature of the sick room at about 60%, which can improve blood circulation and relieve respiratory symptoms.

③ Nursing care of nasal congestion: When nasal congestion is serious, clear nasal secretions first, and then drip 0.5% ephedrine solution into the nose, 2 ~ 3 times a day, with 65,438+0 ~ 2 drops each time. For infants with nasal obstruction, nasal drops should be given 65,438+05 minutes before breastfeeding to make the nasal cavity unobstructed and ensure sucking.

④ Pharyngeal care: Observe the congestion, edema and suppuration of the pharynx, and find out the changes of the condition in time. Throat moistening tablets or atomized inhalation can be given when the pharynx is uncomfortable.

2. Nursing care of high fever

Closely monitor the changes of body temperature. If the body temperature is above 38.5℃, it is necessary to treat the symptoms and take correct and reasonable cooling measures, such as cold and wet compress on the head, placing ice packs on the neck, armpits and groin, or rubbing with alcohol and enema with cold salt water. You can also use 25% analgin solution for nasal drops or oral antipyretics. Pay attention to ensure that children get enough water. Change sweaty clothes in time and keep your mouth and skin clean.

Observe the situation

Closely observe the changes of illness and be alert to the occurrence of febrile convulsions. When nursing children, we should always check whether there is a rash on oral mucosa and skin, pay attention to the nature of cough and nervous system symptoms, so as to find measles, scarlet fever, whooping cough, meningitis and so on early. When the abscess of the posterior pharyngeal wall is suspected, it should be reported to the doctor in time, and attention should be paid to prevent the pus from flowing into the trachea after the abscess ruptures and causing suffocation.

4. Ensure adequate nutrition and water.

Encourage children to drink more water, give them a digestible and nutritious diet, eat less and eat more meals, change food types frequently, and replenish nutrition and water intravenously when necessary.

5. Health education

Guide parents to master the prevention knowledge of upper respiratory tract infection and know the corresponding coping skills; In collective children's institutions, children should be isolated as soon as possible, and if there is an epidemic trend, the room can be disinfected with vinegar steaming; Children with recurrent upper respiratory tract infections should pay attention to strengthening physical exercise and doing more outdoor activities; Dress appropriately to gradually adapt to temperature changes and avoid overheating or supercooling; In addition, we should actively prevent and treat various chronic diseases, such as rickets, malnutrition and anemia.
