Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine if the frequency of use of incentive spirometry during the stay in the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) increases with visual and auditory electronic reminders, as compared to not having those reminders.
This study is the first clinical trial study in Indonesia to assess the benefits of using incentive spirometry in the incidence of pulmonary complications after major abdominal surgery. This study was a randomized clinical trial in three tertiary-level referral hospitals in Indonesia (Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Fatmawati Hospital, and Persahabatan Hospital). The investigators randomly assigned adult patients who underwent major abdominal elective surgery in July-August 2015 to two groups. All study subjects were simple randomly allocated to the intervention and control groups according to the randomization table. The hypothesis of the study team was that preoperative incentive spirometry can improve the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications in major abdominal surgery
Aims and objectives: The aims of this study is to determine the effect of incentive spirometry on arterial blood gas and venous oxygen saturation and vital signs, in addition to pulmonary rehabilitation care before and after coronary artery bypass graft surgery. The objectives; were to accelerate the healing process by reducing pulmonary complications. Background: Nurses, who carry much of the responsibility for the basic care of patients surgery play a highly important role. As a result of strong care, the recovery process of the patients will be accelerated, the hospitalization period will be shortened and morbidity and mortality will be prevented. Design and Methods: Included in this randomized controlled study were 32 patients who underwent coronary arterial bypass graft surgery (16 in experimental group; 16 in control group) in a university hospital. Incentive spirometry is applied in the study along with an identified inspiration technique and an expiration technique that has not been previously encountered in literature. The preoperative measured values of the patients were compared with the arterial blood gas and venous oxygen saturation values and vital signs on the first, second and third postoperative days. In this study, the CONSORT checklist was followed.
The purpose of the protocol is to assess how incentive spirometer data gathered via a smartphone platform can be utilized to improve participant adherence to prescribed incentive spirometer exercises in the post-operative period. Half of the participants will receive a standard of care incentive spirometer with a passive tracking device while the other half of the participants will receive a smartphone connected device and smartphone with an application that will encourage their use.
Post-operative pulmonary complications (PPCs) have a major impact on patients and healthcare expenses. The goal of perioperative respiratory therapy is to improve airway clearance, increase lung volume, and mitigate atelectasis. Incentive spirometers (IS) are ubiquitously used to prevent atelectasis and PPCs—implementation of which requires substantial provider time and healthcare expenses. However, meta-analyses have demonstrated that the effectiveness of ISs is unclear due to poor patient compliance in past studies. The goal of this investigation is evaluate the effectiveness of IS on post-operative clinical outcomes. The aims of this investigation are to evaluate 1) if IS use compliance can be improved by adding a use-recording patient reminder alarm, and 2) the clinical outcomes of the more compliant IS users vs. the less-compliant IS users.
The objective of the present study is to evaluate diaphragm activity during three breathing exercises: diaphragmatic breathing (DB), flow-oriented (Triflo II)incentive spirometry and volume-oriented (Voldyne) incentive spirometry. Seventeen healthy subjects will be studied (8 man and 9 woman).
