Intravenous mucolytics.. Goal-directed hemodynamic therapy.. Pain control.. Avoid routine use of nasogastric tube.. Prevention of venous thromboembolism.. What are some nursing interventions to decrease respiratory complications?The following are the therapeutic nursing interventions for ineffective breathing patterns:. Place patient with proper body alignment for maximum breathing pattern. ... . Encourage sustained deep breaths. ... . Encourage diaphragmatic breathing for patients with chronic disease.. What is the most common postoperative respiratory complications in elderly patients?Atelectasis, respiratory failure and pneumonia are the most common PRCs. The care team should implement routine strategies for their prevention in the older patient.
Which are common preventable respiratory complications of surgery?The most important PRCs are reintubation, acute respiratory failure, pulmonary edema, pneumonia, and atelectasis.
