• Cough

  Be careful when coughing: Coughing might not seem like anything to worry about, but repetitive coughing can actually weaken your incision. When you do have to cough, put a pillow on the wound and apply firm pressure to it. [advancedtissue.com]

  To prevent dehiscence, place a folded thin blanket or pillow over an abdominal wound when the patient is coughing. This provides a splint to the area, supporting the healing tissue when coughing increases the intra-abdominal pressure. [quizlet.com]
