Incentive Spirometer: Use and Patient Teaching
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 ноя 2024
- The Use of an incentive spirometer is necessary for maintaining and improving lung function in a number of diagnosis and procedures. It is an often ignored aspect of patient care, so proper understanding of the device and its use is important for both the patient, and the health care worker.
Thank you so much! I was given this after surgery with no explanation!! Now I know!! Very detailed and explained everything!
Glad I could help!
I was given one of these immediately after a hip replacement surgery with some explanation, but it seemed incorrect. It turns out (after watching this video and another) that the explanation was correct, but likely not thorough enough. Thanks so much for this video, I feel like I can use my spirometer more accurately and effectively now!
Thank you very useful and clear explanation
Thank you ❤ just had robotic hysterectomy didn't know how to use this
I am a Mercy COPD patient here in NW Arkansas. I use one of these Airlife Incentive Spirometers. I haven't found a video on the proper way to clean one? Hoping you might do one on that. Thanks, Steve
Hey Steve, to my knowledge this model is not designed to be cleaned. It’s more or less disposable. If you need a replacement and your insurance won’t supply it, I would contact your doctor and they can likely acquire a new one for you.
i wash the hose and mouth piece
Hospitalized 3.5 days for PE, also have hiatal hernia, tachycardia. They gave me the 2500ml unit. Instructions mostly similar but didn't mention holding breath until it drops. I'll change my method. I've gone from 1200 to 2500. Any issue with getting a higher volume unit? I do have trouble maintaining the right zone for more than a couple seconds maxed at 2500.
Nice video...love this much
Thank you
Your spirometer in this video is the second video I’ve seen where Airlife’s spirometer marking/measurement goes up to 2500 ml. The Airlife I have has measurements that goes to 4000 ml, but comparing what you have and I have, they’re clearly the same size. Have you encountered any spirometers with typo markings?
that seems very strange. I haven't seen any come up with different volume markings. I suppose the actual volume doesn't usually make much difference, it's working toward the improvement that matters. You could essencially label them as "level 1, level 2, level 3...etc" and if you advance from level 2 to level 3, you're seeing the improvement. I honestly don't even know which volume (2500 or 4000) is the correct measurement.
With copd how many times to do it in a hour
With anyone with varying and specific comorbidities , it’s going to be important to refer to your physician orders. There are the general recommendations mentioned in this video, but people are specific and unique, so for every patient, check and follow the physician order.
Im ur new subscriber. Kindly make a video regarding pyxis thank you.
I'll put it on my list, but pyxis functionality is often based on specific programing for different facilities, so the usefulness would probably be very specific to my hospital. But if you work at St. Mary's, then it would be accurate.
Thank you.

The key is .... Keep using it, then I bet you get better. Many people can't do 2000.
