What are Best Practices for Nursing Care in Patients on PEEP?
To ensure optimal patient outcomes, nurses should adhere to best practices, including:
Regularly repositioning the patient to promote ventilation and prevent pressure ulcers. Practicing meticulous infection control measures to reduce the risk of VAP. Collaborating closely with the interdisciplinary team to adjust PEEP settings as needed. Providing adequate sedation and pain management to ensure patient comfort. Educating the patient and family members about the purpose and benefits of PEEP therapy.
