呼吸窘迫症候群是急重症單位常見的診斷之一,文獻顯示俯臥治療的確可改善該類病人的氧合狀況並降低死亡率。本文描述一位82歲女性因吸入性肺炎併呼吸窘迫症候群,入住加護病房接受俯臥治療之護理經驗。護理期間自2019年06月09日至2019年06月22日,運用Gordon十一項功能性健康型態評估為工具,彙整評估結果,發現個案有氣體交換障礙、潛在危險性皮膚完整性受損、焦慮等健康問題。運用俯臥治療及胸腔復健運動,來維持良好的血液動力學,進而達成移除氣管內管之目標;俯臥治療期間提供舒適擺位及減壓輔具,避免產生壓力性損傷;以正向鼓勵引導個案表達感受,連結家屬的支持力量來增加個案自我信心,使個案在心理焦慮層面得以調適。藉由此次個案的照護經驗,提供日後護理人員照護俯臥治療病人之參考。
