Flow-Oriented.
Volume-Oriented.

97
Q

What type of Incentive Spirometry consists of one or more clear chambers containing freely movable colored balls or disk. Disk or balls are elevated as client inhales. Does not measure volume of air inhaled =

A

Flow-Oriented

98
Q

What type of Incentive Spirometry measure inhalation volume maintained by client? When client inhales, a piston-like plate or accordion pleated cylinder rises. The markings on the side indicate volume of inspiration achieved by client =

A

Volume-Oriented

99
Q

Does an Incentive Spirometer absolutely have to be upright?

A

Yes

100
Q

Should you exhale normally when using an Incentive Spirometer?

A

Yes

101
Q

How do you use an Incentive Spirometer?

A

Seal your lips tightly around the mouthpiece.

Take in a slow deep breath for 2 seconds initially, increasing to 6 seconds (optimum). To keep the balls or cylinder elevated if possible.

Remove the mouthpiece and exhale normally.

102
Q

What are things to avoid and note about Flow-Oriented Incentive Spirometry?

A

Avoid brisk, low- volume breaths that snap the balls to the top of the chamber.

Greater lung expansion is achieved with a very slow inspiration than with a brisk, shallow breath, even though it may not elevate the balls or keep them elevated while you hold your breath.

Sustained elevation of the balls or cylinder ensures adequate ventilation of the alveoli (lung air sacs).

103
Q

What should you encourage a patient to do after they use an Incentive Spirometer?

A

Encourage them to cough.
Deep ventilation can loosen secretions, and coughing can promote their removal.

Relax and take several normal breaths before using the spirometer again.

Q

Should you repeat Incentive Spirometry several times?

A

Yes

105
Q

How often should you do Incentive Spirometry hourly?

Increases Inspiratory Volume
Maintains Alveolar Ventilation

107
Q

Use Huff Coughing

121
Q

What is Huff Coughing?

A

Inhale deeply and hold your breath for a few seconds, then cough twice while exhaling.
