Incentive Spirometry | Respiratory Care

A respiratory therapist at NKCH demonstrates the proper way to use an incentive spirometer with a patient. It's important to use this device after surgery to expand the lungs and prevent pneumonia. Using it properly will help to distribute air evenly throughout the lungs.

I've used this 3 times before, and sometimes here at home when I feel Ineed to. It's great

I always thought you keep your breath held with the mouth piece still inside your mouth and maintain the piston stay up in the air.

Should we wash mouth piece after each use?
