II. To determine the effect of using incentive spirometer on the prevention of postoperative pulmonary complications among cardiac surgical patients. II. To investigate the effect of using incentive spirometer on study group according to the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications, oxygenation status, length of hospitalization and the need for mechanical ventilation. III. To determine the socio-demographic and clinical factors associated with increased risk for the development of postoperative pulmonary complications following cardiac surgeries.

prospective clinical trial

 Inclusion criteria:  Patients who will agree to participate in the study based on their informed consent.  Subjects with age >18 years.  Patients who undergo cardiac surgery under general anesthesia.  Patients who are obese ,smokers and have underlying respiratory disease  Exclusion criteria:  Patients who refuse to participate in the study.  Patients who have undergone tracheostomy.  Patients in which incentive spirometer is contraindicated

Intervention group will be instructed to use Incentive Spirometer hourly while awake for two days prior to surgery. The intervention group will be observed for 6 days to see the influence of using incentive spirometer on preventing postoperative pulmonary complications.

Effectiveness of Incentive Spirometer on The Prevention of Post-Operative Pulmonary Complications following Cardiac Surgeries

Patients who will agree to participate in the study based on their informed consent .
Subjects with age >18 years.
Patients who undergo cardiac surgery under general anesthesia.
Patients who are smokers, obese, with underlying respiratory disease.

Patients who refuse to participate in the study.
Patients who have undergone tracheostomy.
Patients in which incentive spirometer is contraindicated.

Length of hospital stay

Intervention group: The starting point of the intervention phase will start by instructing patients undergoing open heart surgeries to use Incentive Spirometer (IS) which is a mechanical device that provides patients with visual reinforcement to inhale in a deep and slow manner to enhance lungs reinflation which treat or prevent atelectasis, intervention group will use the IS hourly while awake for two days prior to surgery .The intervention group will be observed for 6 days to see the influence of the given intervention on preventing pulmonary complications.
