Abstract
Pediatric surgery is much different from general surgery, even though the basic principles of surgery are the same. When compared to adults, the pediatric clients react or respond differently in surgery. The surgeries performed in children may be diagnostic, exploratory, curative and palliative etc. Careful post-operative monitoring is essential for a successful outcome of surgery. The main aim of care in the post-operative period is prevention of complications, early identification, and effective treatment of post-operative complications. Need for the study: Post-operative respiratory problems are higher in children with major life threatening events occurring in about 4% of children and in adult it is 0.5%. Breathing exercise had been found to be effective in strengthening the respiratory muscles during post-operative period. Teaching patients about breathing exercises can prevent respiratory problems due to abdominal surgeries. Objectives: The main objective of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of blowing tarty whistle as a breathing exercise on the level of respiratory problem among experimental group. Conclusion: Breathing exercise in the form of blowing tarty whistle was found to be very effective in the prevention of postoperative respiratory problems in children, but it needs more practice and supervision to improve the quality of care. Nursing personnel must educate the children and parents about the appropriate breathing exercise methods.
