Effects of Different Position Changes on Hemodynamic Parameters and Dyspnea Severity in Patients with Dyspnea
Abstract
Objective: This study was planned to determine the effects of different position
changes on hemodynamic parameters and dyspnea severity in patients with dyspnea.
Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study, using a one-group, pre-test and posttest
design. From March-December, 2015, 58 pulmonary service patients who had
been hospitalized due to dyspnea and various respiratory diseases were assessed
for dyspnea severity, oxygen saturation (SpO2), systolic blood pressure (SBP),
diastolic blood pressure (DBP), heart rate (HR) and respiratory rate (RR).
Results: According to repeated measures variance analysis of patients in the prone
and orthopnea position, there was no statistically significant difference between the
measurement of dyspnea severity, O2 saturation, SBP, DBP, and RR. However, the
HR of patients increased in the prone position and dyspnea severity was shown to be
reduced in the orthopnea position.
Conclusion: Comparing all the positions given to the patients, it was found that
towards the 15th minutes, the orthopnea position had a positive effect on patients’
mean dyspnea severity, SBP and O2 saturation but a significant difference was
observed only on the mean dyspnea severity.
