What Are Common Complications and How Are They Managed?
Common complications include infection, bleeding, deep vein thrombosis, and respiratory issues. Management involves:
- Infection: Administering antibiotics and maintaining strict aseptic techniques. - Bleeding: Monitoring for signs of hemorrhage and providing interventions like blood transfusions if necessary. - Deep Vein Thrombosis: Administering anticoagulants and encouraging early mobilization. - Respiratory Issues: Using incentive spirometry, providing oxygen therapy, and encouraging deep breathing exercises.
