Peningkatan Saturasi Oksigen Pada Pasien Congestive Heart Failure Dengan Pemberian Posisi Semi Fowler di Rawat Inap RSUD Siti Fatimah Prov. Sumatera Selatan.

Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) is a chronic condition that causes impaired
heart function in pumping blood, which can reduce oxygen levels in the body. The
increasing incidence of CHF in Indonesia requires appropriate treatment to
improve patient health status. One of the evidence-based practice (EBP)
interventions that can be applied is the provision of a semi-Fowler position to
increase oxygen saturation in CHF patients. This study aims to determine the
effectiveness of providing a semi-Fowler position in increasing oxygen saturation
in CHF patients undergoing treatment in the inpatient room of Siti Fatimah
Hospital, South Sumatra Province. This study uses a qualitative approach with a
descriptive case study method on three CHF patients who meet the inclusion and
exclusion criteria. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and
oxygen saturation measurements using an oximeter before and after the semi-
Fowler position intervention for three days. The results showed an increase in
oxygen saturation after the application of the semi-Fowler position in all
respondents. In Mr. M, there was an increase in average oxygen saturation of 6%, in Mr. N by 3.3%, and in Mrs. N by 4.7%. This indicates that the application of the semi-Fowler position contributes to improving oxygenation in CHF patients.
Providing a semi-Fowler position has been proven effective in increasing oxygen
saturation in CHF patients. This intervention can be used as one of the strategies in nursing care to improve the health status of CHF patients in the inpatient room.
