|
Frequent turning, early mobilization, deep breathing maneuvers, assistance with the use of spirome-try, suctioning, postural drainage, aerosol nebulizer treatments, and chest percussion

ARDS
|

|
Dyspnea, cough, sputum production, tachycardia, tachypnea, pleural pain, and central cyanosis

Detailed explanation-1: -[9] Other interventions that have been used to decrease atelectasis include deep breathing; early ambulation; proper use of an incentive spirometer or acapella device; chest physiotherapy; tracheal suctioning if intubated; and use of positive pressure ventilation.
Detailed explanation-2: -They include: Performing deep-breathing exercises (incentive spirometry) and using a device to assist with deep coughing may help remove secretions and increase lung volume. Positioning your body so that your head is lower than your chest (postural drainage).
Detailed explanation-3: -Patient education Lung expansion, deep breathing and coughing, and incentive spirometry are best taught to the patient before surgery and are useful for postoperative reduction of atelectasis. Incentive spirometry, along with deep breathing and coughing, is very helpful for reducing postoperative atelectasis.
Detailed explanation-4: -Encourage movement and deep breathing in anyone who is bedridden for long periods. Keep small objects out of the reach of young children. Maintain deep breathing after anesthesia.
