PROCEDURE

ICOUGH

After the patient has recovered from postoperative anesthesia and their hemodynamic values have stabilized, the ICOUGH bundle applications mentioned above will be carried out. The patient's pain and nausea levels will be recorded for a period of 48 hours. Postoperative pain and nausea will be assessed with the help of data collectors, using a numerical rating scale at 2, 4, 8, 12, 24, and 48 hours after surgery. Considering that postoperative respiratory complications are relatively common and costly, various studies have been conducted to explore ways to reduce the risk of their occurrence. One of these protocols is the ICOUGH bundle, which stands for Incentive Spirometry, Coughing and Deep Breathing, Oral Care, Patient Understanding of the Interventions, Getting Out of Bed, and Head of Bed Elevation.
