Abstract: Bronchopneumonia is an acute lower respiratory tract infection of the lung parenchyma involving the bronchi/bronchioles, appearing as patchy infiltrates caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or foreign bodies. Chest physiotherapy is one nursing intervention that can be performed to address ineffective airway clearance in pediatric patients with bronchopneumonia. This study employed a descriptive method with a case study design. The subjects were two pediatric patients diagnosed with bronchopneumonia who presented with ineffective airway clearance. After implementing chest physiotherapy for three consecutive days, both patients were able to expel secretions. The study concludes that chest physiotherapy is effective in resolving ineffective airway clearance problems in children with bronchopneumonia. It is recommended that families be trained to independently perform chest physiotherapy to help manage airway clearance issues in children with bronchopneumonia.
