In episode 75 of the Medical Nursing Podcast, we're talking about a messy, sort of gross, but oh-so-satisfying respiratory disease…
Yep, today we're chatting all things pyothorax nursing.
Pyothorax is probably the second most common pleural space disease we see. These patients often present in respiratory distress, needing a LOT of nursing support.
In this episode, we'll discuss what pyothorax is, the common causes, and the clinical signs, diagnostics, and nursing management - so you can care for these patients confidently.
Plus, I'll share the biggest lessons I've learned from (too many!) years of caring for these patients, so you can spend less time learning the hard way, and more time using your skills (and giving great care whilst you're at it).
