Effectiveness of the head of bed with hyperoxygenation against oxygen saturation during open suction in ICU

Abstract

Complications of suction are hypoxemia or hypoxia that occurs during the suction process. HOB 45 degrees with hyperoxygenation can reduce diaphragm pressure, increase alveolar expansion and increase lung volume thereby reducing oxygen desaturation during open suction. Proving HOB 45 degrees with hyperoxygenation is more effective than HOB 30 degrees for oxygen saturation during the suction process in patients who are fitted with mechanical ventilation. True experiments with randomized control group design pre-post test design. The sample consisted of 32 people who were divided into intervention and control groups with simple random sampling technique. Interventions of HOB 45 and 30 degrees with hyperoxygenation of oxygen saturation during open suction. Data analysis uses repeated measure ANOVA. HOB 45 degrees for 30 minutes with hyperoxygenation for 2 minutes is more effective in reducing oxygen desaturation during the suction process which is characterized by an average oxygen saturation value immediately after suction of 98.63% in the intervention group while HOB 30 degrees for 30 minutes with hyperoxygenation for 2 minutes, the value the average oxygen saturation immediately after suction was 95.75% in the control group. It is concluded that the HOB 45 degrees with hyperoxygenation effectively increases oxygen saturation after open suction.
