An interventional study of visual analogue scale (VAS),Respiratory distress observational scale (RDOS) and other Nursing care in Dyspnea, sponsored by Assiut University. Status unknown at 1 site in Egypt. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 60 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2019-07-17.
Sponsored by Assiut University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Supportive care
Breathing discomfort (dyspnea) during mechanical ventilation in the ICU may complicate care.
Patients on ventilators experience a variety of discomforts: symptoms (dyspnea ,fatigue , pain ) ,emotions (depression, anxiety ,panic) and feeling of lack to control .Patients may or may not express this discomfort outwardly with agitation ,restlessness ,grimacing or increase in the vital signs (heart rate ,blood pressure ,breathing frequency).The aim of the present study is to assess the prevalence of dyspnea among mechanically ventilated patients, Describe interventions that may alleviate breathing discomfort and examine its impact on clinical outcomes.
656 studies on the registry are indexed under Dyspnea; 153 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 90 is above the median of 48 across 430 interventional studies indexed under Dyspnea.

New other than Routine nursing care will be used.
Other: visual analogue scale (VAS),Respiratory distress observational scale (RDOS) and other Nursing care
Routine care only will be done for this group
Distressed patient will be assessed by visual analogue scale(VAS) or respiratory distress observational scale.Nursing interventions will be done according to its causes as giving supplemental O2 therapy, pharmacologic therapy ,initiating positive pressure ventilation or change Ventilator settings (TV, PEEP, Inspiratory pressure ), Improve inspiratory muscle function by Nutrition, positioning or by minimizing use of steroids , clearing airway by Suctioning, Check O2 saturation level frequently and maintain O2 saturation between 95-100%, ,Raising the HOB (Head of the Bed), high Fowler's ,Give pain medications as prescribed or diuretics as ordered and If thick secretions increase oral fluids intake
