Agussalim
Abstract: COPD is lung crhonik desease with obstruction of air flowing caracterictic which is nonreversible progresivity and reversible partial with lung inflammation response to the dangerous particel in the air. This research aims to understand the effect of Highfowler and Orthopneic Position Significantly to the function of lung ventilation of clients with COPD in Internist ward of Labuang Baji Hospital 2014. This research is a quantitatif research with experimental method (Quasy-Experiment) by pre test-post test group design. Sample of this research are clients with COPD who are attending in Internist ward of Labuang Baji Hospital by Purposive sampling technik. The result of this research shows Highfowler and Orthopneic position influenced to decrease of respiratory rate frequency and increase the Peak Flow Expiration of the COPD clients with a significantly result of Highfowler position (P1=0, 000) and P2=0, 000) and significantly result to Orthopneic Position (P3=0, 000 and P4=0, 000). Based on the result, i could conclude that there was influencing of Highfowler and Orthopneic position to the lung of ventilation functioning of COPD Clients in Internist Ward of Labuang Baji Hospital Makassar City. My suggestion is to the the hospital and all nurses applying of Highfowler and Orthopneic Position giving care to the client with COPD in order to increase the function of lung ventilation.
