Introduction



Pulmonary complications are common after
surgery involving upper abdomen or thorax
Such complications include atelectasis,
pneumonia, & acute respiratory failure
Lung expansion therapy is utilized to prevent
or correct respiratory complications in
postoperative period

4
Causes & Types of Atelectasis


Gas absorption atelectasis can occur when
mucus plugs block ventilation to selected
regions of lung or if there is significant shift in
V/Q; gas distal to obstruction is absorbed by
passing blood
Compression atelectasis is caused by
persistent breathing with small tidal volumes
and/or certain types of restrictive chest-wall
disorders

atelectasis?

Lung Expansion Therapy
● Incentive spirometry

Has been mainstay of lung expansion therapy for
many years
IS devices provide visual cues to patient when
desired inspiratory volume of flow is reached
Proved to be effective in high-risk patients

Administration of IS


Need for IS is determined by careful patient
assessment (high-risk patient)
Effective patient teaching
• Demonstrate then observe patient
• Patient should sustain his/her maximal inspiratory effort
for 5 to 10 seconds

Follow-up

● Monitoring & troubleshooting with positive
airway pressure (PAP) therapies



Most common problem with PAP therapies is
system leaks
Patient must be monitored for hypoventilation &
elevated PCO2
Inspiratory flow must be adequate

Selecting an Approach


Chose modality that is safest, simplest, &
most effective
RT should evaluate the following before
choosing a specific modality:

Level of patient cooperation
 Amount of pulmonary secretions
 Patient’s spontaneous vital capacity
