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.

Intervention groups
1
Description
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.
