When working in a general paediatric ward, I was allocated to a child that came in with an exacerbation of asthma. The patient required hourly monitoring due to being on 5L of oxygen therapy via a face mask. Without oxygen, their oxygen saturation would drop to 88%. According to NICE guidelines, patients receiving supplementary oxygen through a face mask, venturi mask, or nasal cannula should maintain saturation levels between 94-98%. In this case, the target saturation for the patient was set at 94%, as they desaturated when breathing room air. While a saturation of 94% is typically below the baseline for pediatric patients, it is important to note that some children may have different baseline saturation levels due to underlying conditions. I took initiative by asking my supervisor if I could give the patient a venturi mask because they needed 5L as they were working hard to breathe. My supervisor supervised the care plan, while I took the initiative to introduce myself to both the patient and their parent, as I had assessed and developed the child’s care plan. Through this experience, I learned the importance of informing both the patient and parent about the care plan, even when I am the one assessing and planning. This approach reinforces family-centered care by ensuring that both the patient and family are actively involved in the care process.
