About this trial

This study is designed to determine if patients using an incentive spirometer with visual and auditory signals will increase their use of the incentive spirometer and prevent lung complications.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patient has undergone a qualifying surgical procedure.

Patient is aged 18 years or over.

Patient has incentive spirometry ordered or incentive spirometry must be part of the study site's standard of care which is implemented by hospital staff.

Patient is able to comply with all study required incentive spirometry instructions.

Disqualifiers

Vulnerable Populations (Pregnant, minors, prisoners, those with significantly reduced mental acuity).

Patients where incentive spirometry is inappropriate (patients with Tractotomy, patients who are hemodynamically unstable, patients in reverse isolation due to infection).

Patients with a history of prior non-compliance or the presence or history of psychiatric condition (including drug or alcohol addiction), or cognitive issue which would in the opinion of the investigator, make it difficult for the patient to comply with the study procedures or follow the investigators instructions.

Any medical condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would place the patient at increased risk if they participated.

Trial population

Post Operative Inpatients prescribed incentive spirometry.
