What are the different nursing intervention of choanal atresia?

Nursing interventions for choanal atresia include:

Monitoring respiratory status: Nurses monitor the infant's respiratory status closely, including oxygen saturation levels, respiratory rate, and any signs of respiratory distress.

Administering oxygen: Oxygen therapy may be provided to maintain adequate oxygen levels and prevent hypoxia.

Positioning the infant: Positioning the infant in a prone or side-lying position can help improve airway patency and facilitate breathing.

Suctioning: Suctioning may be necessary to remove secretions and maintain a clear airway.

Providing humidification: Humidified air can help to loosen secretions and reduce airway irritation.

Nasal saline instillations: Nasal saline instillations can help to moisturize the nasal passages and loosen secretions.

Teaching parents about care: Nurses provide education and support to parents about the care of their infant with choanal atresia, including how to perform suctioning, administer medications, and monitor for signs of respiratory distress.

Collaboration with other healthcare professionals: Nurses collaborate with other healthcare professionals, such as physicians, speech therapists, and social workers, to ensure the infant receives comprehensive care.
