摘要: Incentive spirometry offered no statistically significant advantages to pulmonary function when compared unstructured or structured deep breathing and coughing exercise programs, for patients at low risk of developing complications. The additional cost incentive spirometer equipment does not seem warranted in these patients. Furthermore, with without an were willing comply a program the same frequency practice sessions. Patients this diagnostic category did require technical device reward motivate them performing maximal inspiratory manoeuvres.
