- Ineffectual Airway Clearance
- Debilitated Gas Exchange
- Hazard for Deficient Fluid Volume
- Hazard for Imbalanced Nutrition: Less Than Body Requirements
- Intense Pain
- Action Intolerance
- Hazard for Infection
- Lacking Knowledge

Ineffectual Airway Clearance
Ineffectual Airway Clearance: Inability to clear emissions or impediments from the respiratory tract to keep up an unmistakable aviation route.
Nursing Diagnosis
- Incapable Airway Clearance
- May be identified with
- Tracheal bronchial aggravation, edema development, expanded sputum generation
- Pleuritic torment
- Diminished vitality, exhaustion
- Potentially prove by
- Changes in rate, profundity of breaths
- Irregular breath sounds, utilization of embellishment muscles
- Dyspnea, cyanosis
- Hack, successful or inadequate; with/without sputum creation
- Wanted Outcomes
- Recognize/exhibit practices to accomplish aviation route leeway.
- Show patent aviation route with breath sounds clearing; nonappearance of dyspnea, cyanosis.
