Definition : Ineffective Breathing Pattern Circumstances where an individual suffered actual loss of ventilation or the risks associated with changes in breathing patterns. Related Factors: Inflammatory process: viral or bacterial Hypoxia Neuromuscular impairment Pain Musculoskeletal impairment Tracheobronchial obstruction Perception or cognitive impairment Anxiety Decreased energy and fatigue Decreased lung expansion Nursing Care Plan for Ineffective Breathing Pattern Major Data Changes in frequency or pattern of breathing (from the baseline value) Changes in pulse Minor Data Orthopnea, Tachypnoea, hiperpnea, hyperventilation. Respiratory dysrhythmias Breathing is difficult / respiratory careful. Expected Outcomes Individuals will: Demonstrate effective breathing frequency, and having gas exchange in the lungs.
