Abstract

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a progressive lung disease characterized by irreversible airflow obstruction associated with an inflammatory lung response to toxic particles or gases (Jain, Lolak 2009 in Anissa, 2022). One of the treatments for COPD is to adjust the position and breathing pattern to reduce the amount of trapped air (Padila, 2012). The aim of this research is to analyze cases managed using the high fowler position in COPD patients in the emergency room at Hj Bunda Halimah Hospital Batam in 2022. Setting the high fowler position can help the lungs expand optimally thereby helping to increase gas exchange (Black & Hawks, 2005) . This KIA-N aims to provide an overview of nursing care for patients with symptoms of dyspnea in COPD patients. The results obtained from the patient analysis were a decrease in complaints of shortness of breath felt in COPD patients with an increase in lung ventilation and was characterized by a decrease in respiratory frequency and an increase in oxygen saturation.
