术后患者发生阿片类药物诱导呼吸抑制的评估及预防研究进展

Abstract

Abstract:

Opioid induced postoperative respiratory depression refers to the serious life-threatening symptoms of slow respiratory rate，reduced ventilation，hypoxemia，hypercapnia，and drowsiness after surgery in patients who use opioid drugs. Early identification of respiratory depression and active intervention is a key focus of clinical nursing work. This article provides a review of the evaluation and prevention of postoperative respiratory depression induced by opioid drugs，and combines with China’s national conditions to summarize the work priorities of nurses in systematic evaluation，dynamic monitoring，personalized alarm settings，rigorous preoperative screening，strict control of transfer standards，standardized hospital transportation，and emphasis on nurse patient cooperation，providing reference for early warning and predictive intervention.

Key words: Opioid Drugs, Respiratory Suppression, Evaluation, Prevention, Critical Care Nursing, Review Literature as Topic
