PENGARUH MENGKONSUMSI AIR HANGAT SEBELUM PEMBERIAN NEBULIZER TERHADAP PENINGKATAN KELANCARAN JALAN NAPAS PADA PASIEN ASMA BRONKIAL

Abstract

Warm drinking water is one of the non-pharmacological therapies that can have an oxygenation effect on the body, especially in the respiratory organs so that it can help clear the airway in bronchial asthma patients who experience respiratory problems due to obstruction or other trigger factors such as allergic reactions, viral infections, and air pollution. Warm drinking water is the right therapy for bronchial asthma patients because by drinking warm water the particles trigger tightness and the liquid or mucus in the bronchioles will be broken down. Nebulizer is one of the inhalations with the administration of drugs in the form of steam that is given through inhalation, the nebulizer can help provide relaxation to help loosen breathing in bronchial asthma patients. This goal is to see the smoothness of the airway before and after in the two groups with treatment treatment in the intervention group and not giving treatment to the control group. The population in this study were bronchial asthma patients who were treated at the Grandmed Lubuk Pakam Hospital. The results of the study with the Paired Sample statistical test t-test design of airway smoothness in the intervention group value (p value = 0.000 <α = 0.05), while in the control group the value (p value = 0.920> α = 0.05) was obtained. The conclusion of this study is that consuming warm water before offering a nebulizer to bronchial asthma patients can help smoothen the patient's airway
