ประโยคน่ารู้เกี่ยวกับ Using the Incentive Spirometer • Please sit on the edge of the bed, or sit up as far as you can in bed. • Please sit up straight and as comfortably as possible. • Keep your head and neck centered and not bent forward or backward. • Please hold the incentive spirometer in an upright position. • Place the target pointer to the level that you need to reach. • Breathe out normally. • Place the mouthpiece in your mouth with your lips tightly sealed around it. Do not let your tongue block the mouthpiece. • Breathe in slowly and deeply through the mouthpiece to raise the indicator. Try to make the indicator rise up to the level of the target pointer. This is the goal that you need to reach. • Breathe in slowly and as deeply as possible, raising the piston toward the top of the column. The coach indicator should be in the outlined area. • Hold your breath as long as possible (for at least five seconds). Allow the piston to fall to the bottom of the column. • Note the highest level that the indicator has reached. • When you cannot inhale any longer, remove the mouthpiece and hold your breath for at least three seconds. • Rest for a few seconds and repeat at least 10 times every hour when you are awake. • Position the indicator on the left side of the spirometer to show your best effort. Use the indicator as a goal to work toward during each repetition. • After each set of 10 deep breaths, practice coughing to be sure your lungs are clear. If you have an incision, support your incision when coughing by placing a pillow firmly against it. • After each session, try to cough out the sputum (mucus) from your lungs. This is done by inhaling deeply and pushing the air out of your lungs with a deep, strong cough. • Once you are able to get out of bed, walk in the hallway and cough well. You may stop using the incentive spirometer unless otherwise instructed by your doctor.
