Bronchopneumonia is a lower respiratory tract infection that remains a major health problem, especially in children, which can cause impaired gas exchange and ultimately decrease oxygen saturation. This condition, if not immediately treated, can lead to hypoxia and improve the patient's clinical condition. One intervention frequently administered in the emergency room is nebulizer therapy, which functions to help widen the airways, reduce secretion production, and improve pulmonary ventilation. This study aims to determine the effect of nebulizer therapy on increasing oxygen saturation in bronchopneumonia patients in the emergency room of Dr. Dody Sardjoto Air Force Hospital. This study used a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The study sample was bronchopneumonia patients who received nebulizer therapy intervention in the emergency room. The results showed an increase in oxygen saturation after nebulizer therapy with a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant effect. Thus, nebulizer therapy is proven effective in increasing oxygen saturation and can be used as a treatment intervention in the management of oxygenation disorders in bronchopneumonia patients.  

Bronchopneumonia is the most common form of pneumonia in children and remains a leading cause of death in those under five years of age. This condition is characterized by shortness of breath due to lung infection. One of the interventions used is nebulizer inhalation therapy, which helps relieve breathing difficulties and thin secretions. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of inhalation therapy in children experiencing ineffective airway clearance. The method applied is a case study based on evidence-based practice (EBP) involving one patient, with nebulizer interventions administered for three consecutive days, each lasting 10–15 minutes. The findings showed improvement, including reduced shortness of breath, decreased productive cough, and the disappearance of rhonchi. Therefore, nebulizer therapy is proven effective in managing respiratory problems in children with bronchopneumonia, and its implementation should be accompanied by education for patients and their families to support collaborative nursing care.

Asthma is a non-communicable lung disease, with symptoms such as shortness of breath, wheezing and repeated coughing. Attacks can last for only a few minutes, hours, days or up to several weeks. The therapy given in this case using Infra red aims to relax the respiratory muscles and also improve blood circulation. Chest physiotherapy includes a nebulizer which aims to deliver drugs in the form of gas that can be inhaled by the patient's respiratory tract. Postural Drainage aims to drain mucus from various segments in the lungs to the larger airways with the help of gravity. Tappotement aims to divert sputum from the lungs. Works This Scientific Writing is a case study, raising patient cases and collecting data through the physiotherapy process. The modality provided is Infra red and Chest physiotherapy. The results showed significant improvements after six therapy sessions. Cough intensity decreased from frequent to no cough, while shortness of breath reduced from moderate to none. Auscultation revealed that wheezing and ronchi sounds, initially present in both lungs, eventually disappeared. Additionally, thoracic expansion improved, and the respiratory rate, initially 32 breaths per minute, decreased to 24 breaths per minute, approaching normal levels. In conclusion the combination of Infrared therapy and Chest physiotherapy is effective in managing Bronchial Asthma, particularly in reducing sputum production, improving thoracic expansion, and normalizing breathing patterns. This therapy can serve as a supportive approach in pediatric physiotherapy for respiratory disorders caused by inflammation and mucus accumulation.

Introduction: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease or often referred to as COPD, is a disease that occurs due to limited airflow, this is caused by abnormalities of the airways and/or damage to the alveoli, abnormalities or damage that occurs are caused by significant exposure to hazardous particles or gases, not only due to exposure, COPD is also influenced by lung abnormalities. Dyspnea is a condition that describes a sensation of shortness of breath, which is characterized by obstruction of airflow, or difficulty breathing and chest tightness which is often associated with heart or respiratory disease. Purpose: This study is to determine the management of physiotherapy in cases of right chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Method: This study uses a case report approach in patients with right chronic obstructive pulmonary disease by providing interventions in the form of nebulizers, pulsed lip breathing and muscle release for 4 weeks 5x meetings with doses of 3 times a day every week. Evaluation is carried out using the vital sign index, auscultation, borg scale, MMRC scale and thorax cage mobilization examination. Results: evaluation measurements using vital sign index, auscultation, borg scale, MMRC scale and thorax cage examination. Thus, the results show an increase and decrease in the degree of shortness of breath before and after intervention. Conclusion: there is an increase and decrease in shortness of breath before and after intervention.

Pleural effusion is the accumulation of abnormal fluid in the pleural space that can be caused by various conditions, such as infections (tuberculosis, pneumonia), malignancies, heart failure, or other systemic diseases. Clinical manifestations are generally shortness of breath, pleuritic chest pain, and cough. Diagnosis enforcement is carried out through clinical examination, radiology (thoracic photo, ultrasound), and pleural fluid analysis. Management of pleural effusion depends on the cause and volume of fluid. In cases of massive pleural effusion or those that cause significant respiratory distress, the installation of a pigtail catheter is one of the options for fluid drainage. Pigtail catheter is an effective minimally invasive method of gradual removal of pleural fluid, with a relatively low risk of complications. The method in this final scientific paper uses a case study method with a nursing care approach for Mrs. L with respiratory system disorders: pleural effusion in the inpatient room of St. Laura, Santa Elisabeth Hospital Medan. Results: The signs and symptoms that arise in the case of pleural effusion were all obtained in accordance with the theory and data found in the field, in addition to the determination of nursing diagnosis was also adjusted to the SDKI obtained. The determination of the intervention given to the client with pleural effusion, in the form of nebulizer therapy, semi-fowler positioning, and the installation of water seal drainage (PIGTAIL Installation).

Introduction: Anesthesia is a complex pharmacological Response induced by a chemically heterogeneous class of Drugs, the so-called general anesthetics Every year, tens of Millions of patients are exposed to general anesthetics Drugs that remove the most precious human attribute Consciousness. By allowing for prolonged invasive Procedures, general anesthesia is one of the foremost Achievements of modern medical science However, there Is no objective or widely accepted definition of general Anesthesia. Aim of the study: The aim of study uses of prophylactic nebulized steroids therapy on postoperative cough in a heavy smoker patient under elective extra thoracic surgery. Results: The data was analyzed using the statistical program IBM SPSS Statistic 28 the results attached below were obtained based on the following hypotheses and aim of this study (The aim of study use of prophylactic steroids therapy on postoperative cough for heavy smoker patient under elective extra thoracic surgery). Discussion: In this study, it was attempted to determine the effect of steroids therapy on post-operative cough in patients ­smoking. And there was high-significant data for each drug group. From this data we note that from study questionnaire the use of nebulizer pulmicort which is making less side effect on patients from than using systemic dexamethasone to patients. and be better drug used for patient who have chronic disease such as (hypertension, diabetic mellitus, problem in respiratory system and complication. Conclusion: from all results in this study, we can conclude that there is a significant effect on shortness of breath and high significant data variable effect on cough according to data research. 

Background: Because of the very high mortality in children and children under the age of five, bronchopneumonia is the leading cause of death in children under the age of five worldwide. When viruses, bacteria, microbes and fungi enter the lungs through the respiratory system, they infect the lung parenchyma and cause pneumonia. Objective: Analyzing ineffective airway clearance nursing care in children with bronchopneumonia by collaborative action of administering a nebulizer in the Picu Room of Prof. Hospital. Dr. H Aloei Saboe Methods: Participants in this study, which used a quasi-experimental design, received treatment or intervention before measuring and analyzing the impacts. The pre-post-test group design method served as the basis for the research design. In children with bronchopneumonia, this strategy is used to check the results before and after administration of the nebulizer. Two young people who fight against crime become samples. Results: The results of the study show the overall evaluation results after nursing actions, namely: Based on the results before being given a nebulizer to patients the problem was not resolved in 2 patients and after being given a nebulizer to patients the problem was resolved in 2 patients Conclusion: Based on the description above, inhalation therapy to reduce symptoms of shortness of breath in children with bronchopneumonia is effective where inhalation therapy or steam inhalation therapy using drugs can widen the bronchial airways resulting in complaints such as shortness of breath and disappearance of breath sounds.

Asthma Bronchiale is inflammation in the airways (bronchi) where excessive lung mucus production makes breathing difficult. One treatment that can be given is by giving nebulizer therapy to ease the cough response to the presence of mucus in the respiratory tract with the addition of mint oil. The purpose of the case study is to illustrate the effect of adding mint (pappermint oil) and liquid with a nebulizer on the handling of asthma bronchiale cough in Ungaran District Hospital. The subject of this case study used two patients with asthma bronchiale, willing to be investigated, cooperative and more than 5 years old. Data was collected by observation and administration of nebulizer therapy by adding pappermint oil and liquid using a nebulizer. The results of the case study found that subject I had a cough frequency of 25 (moderate), no inflammation, no wheezing and easy sputum discharge, whereas in subject II the frequency of cough became 24 (moderate), no inflammation, no wheezing, and easy phlegm Exit. This study is recommended to apply pappermint oil therapy to reduce the frequency of cough bronchial asthma patients
