Value of Incentive Spirometry in Routine Management of COPD Patients and Its Effect on Diaphragmatic Function

Menoufia University·interventional·Posted Jan 11, 2023·Updated Jan 11, 2023

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating incentive spirometry for COPD. Completed, enrolled 40 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

The incentive spirometer is a device that encourages patients, with visual and other positive feedback, to maximally inflate their lungs and sustain that inflation. However, its efficacy in patients with COPD has been little documented especially in diaphragmatic function. This study tried to assess the role of incentive spirometry on Spirometric functions, Sonographic diaphragmatic function, and the scale of dyspnea in COPD patients with exacerbation and with follow-up of these parameters after 2 months.

Interventions

incentive spirometrydevice

It is flow-oriented that has 3 chambers, (600, 900, and 1200 cc/s) and it has a mouthpiece and a ball in each chamber. After a quiet exhalation, each participant was instructed to take slow full inspirations and to keep as long as he can for at least 5 seconds, then he slowly expires. The device is used every hour at least 5 to 10 times in the session during wake time.
