How do I use an incentive spirometer?

lungs, improve your breathing, and remove secretions.
? Using IS before and after your surgery can lower your risk of
pneumonia (lung infection) and may help you go home
sooner.

Sit up straight in a chair or on the edge of your bed.
Hold the incentive spirometer upright.
Breathe out normally.
Place the mouthpiece in your mouth between your teeth and
seal your lips around it.
Breathe in slowly and as deeply as possible. You will see
the blue piston rising up toward the top.
Hold your breath for as long as possible.
Remove the mouthpiece from your mouth and breathe out
slowly.
Rest for a few seconds and then repeat steps 3-7 at least 10
times.
After you have completed 10 deep breaths, cough a few
times to make sure your lungs are clear.
Tip: Position the blue indicator on the left side of the device to show your best
effort. Use this as a goal to work towards during each deep breath
