Pneumonia Nursing Service
Pneumonia is a common yet extremely serious disease that can be caused by a number of reasons. The disease affects the lungs in an adverse way and can cause serious damage if not catered to immediately.
The primary function of the lungs is to aid the respiration process and hence control the amount of oxygen traveling to blood. As can be easily understood that any disruption to this process can be dangerous and in extreme cases, fatal. Let us try to understand, in the simplest terms, how exactly the lungs work.
The human lungs are porous organs located on either side of the chest. The windpipe takes the air we inhale to the lungs by means of tubular structures known as bronchi. These bronchi keep getting smaller and smaller in size (called bronchioles) and finally end in the bunch of air sacs. These air sacs are technically known as alveoli and are the part of the lung, responsible for absorbing oxygen into the blood and extracting carbon dioxide from the blood to be exhaled.
Now that we have understood how critical this entire process is for human life, let us relook at pneumonia in a slightly more detailed manner. Pneumonia is the filling up of the air sacs with liquid (cough or pus), disrupting the normal breathing. This happens due to an infection, which can be caused by multiple reasons. This is why a comprehensive nursing care plan for pneumonia is a must.

This is one of the diseases where early diagnosis and treatment can be the difference between life and death, especially in the case of senior citizens having other chronic problems like heart failure and lung issues. Thus, speaking to your health care provider and ensuring that a proper nursing care plan for pneumonia is in place, is extremely critical.
Knowing so much about the disease, the obvious question would be how is it caused? Pneumonia is broadly classified into the following types based on how the patient acquired the infection
As there is a lot of care required for a patient having pneumonia, it is recommended that they should be attended by trained nurses during the illness. A trained nurse can help in many ways that a family member may not be able to. Some of the activities that the nurses are trained in to help the patients of pneumonia are
