DEFINING CHARACTERISITICS Nursing Diagnosis: Ineffective breathing pattern related to decreased lung expansion 2 hemothorax S: Kutasan kaau ko. Grabe kalisud muginhawa. as verbalized. O: - received on bed, awake, conscious, coherent, s IVF, with CTT at left thoracic area,- temporarily closed, with dry, intact dressing at insertion site, alterarion in depth of breathing, nasal flaring and occassional pursed lip breathing observed, respiratory rate of 36 cycles per minute
EXPECTED OUTCOME CRITERIA (Ideal) SHORT TERM GOAL After 4 hours of nursing interventions, the patient will be able to verbalize awareness of condition. Patient will be able to establish an improvement in respiratory rate, depth, and pattern LONG TERM GOAL After 3 days of nursing intervention, pt will be able to establish a normal and effective breathing pattern within her normal range. Patient will demonstrate skill in conserving energy while carrying out activities of daily living (ADLs).and initiate needed lifestyle changes.

Theoretical Basis:
Rosemarie Cohitmingaw, 33, F, Married, was admitted for the first time at VSMMC Ward 6 with a final diagnosis of Gunshot wound, POE: L intrascapular area; POX: L 5th intercostals space AAL. CTT insertion was performed. On July 11, 2010, reinsertion was made. Patient complains of shortness of breath especially when moving. Patient has a respiratory rate of 36 cpm. Chest tubes are inserted to drain blood, fluid, or air and to allow the lungs to fully expand. The tube is placed between the ribs and into the space between the inner lining and the outer lining of the lung (pleural space). They are used to treat conditions that can cause the lung to collapse, such as after surgery or trauma in the chest: pneumothorax or hemothorax. (Medicine Plus) A hemothorax is the accumulation of blood between the membranes lining the lungs. A pneumothorax on the other hand is a collection of air or gas in the pleural cavity of the chest between the lung and the chest wall. (wikipedia.org) The lung contains gas, blood, thin alveolar walls and support structures. The alveolar wall contains elastic and collagen fibers; these form a three-dimensional basket-like structure that allows the lung to inflate in all directions. These fibers are capable of stretching when a pulling force is exerted on them from outside of the body or when they inflate from within. The elastic recoil helps return the lungs to their resting volume. If air or increased amounts of serous fluid, blood, or pus accumulate in the thoracic space, it may hinder adequate lung expansion and causes the pleural membranes (essential for diffusion of gases) to compress thus respiratory difficulties follow. (Black and Hawks) NANDA defines Ineffective Breathing Pattern as the Inspiration and/or expiration that does not provide adequate ventilation. (Doenges)
The problem needs to be quickly recognized and corrected.
