Recruiting

• Conditions: Hypoxic Respiratory Failure

• Registration Number: NCT06901050
• Lead Sponsor: Muş Alparslan University

Brief Summary

This study will investigate the effect of the FAST HUGS WITH ICU approach on the length of stay in the intensive care unit in patients with hypoxic respiratory failure. Patients will be randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. The standard procedure will be applied to the control group. The FAST HUGS WITH ICU approach will be applied to the experimental group. We plan to follow up patients with Hypoxic Respiratory Failure using the abbreviation FAST HUGS WITH ICU (Feeding, Analgesia, Sedation, Thromboembolic prophylaxis, Head of bed elevation, Stress Ulcer prophylaxis and Glucose control Spontaneous breathing trial, Water Balance and constipation, Investigation and results, Therapy, Hypo-hyper delirium, Invasive devices, Check the daily infection parameters, Use a checlist). The two groups will be examined in terms of hospital stay and some blood gas parameters.

Detailed Description

Hypoxic respiratory failure is responsible for 1.9 million patient admissions per year in the United States alone, and the hospital mortality rate is as high as 20%. This rate is also increasing in Turkey. The most common causes include pneumonia, cardiogenic pulmonary edema, ARDS, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Fast hugs is important in affecting the prognosis of patients with hypoxic respiratory failure in special clinics such as the Chest Diseases Intensive Care Unit. Therefore, new studies are needed. This study will investigate the effect of the FAST HUGS WITH ICU approach on the length of stay in the intensive care unit in patients with hypoxic respiratory failure. Patients will be randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. The standard procedure will be applied to the control group. The FAST HUGS WITH ICU approach will be applied to the experimental group. We plan to follow up patients with Hypoxic Respiratory Failure using the abbreviation FAST HUGS WITH ICU (Feeding, Analgesia, Sedation, Thromboembolic prophylaxis, Head of bed elevation, Stress Ulcer prophylaxis and Glucose control Spontaneous breathing trial, Water Balance and constipation, Investigation and results, Therapy, Hypo-hyper delirium, Invasive devices, Check the daily infection parameters, Use a checlist).
