Volumetric Inspirometer

• Just before starting the exercise, exhale completely the air of your lungs.

• Put the mouthpiece in your mouth, making sure that your lips tighten firmly, to avoid air leaks when performing the inspiration.

• Inhale as deeply as possible, until the piston reaches its maximum capacity while the coach indicator marks the “happy face” indicator. Hold the air for 10 seconds.

• Exhale outside the device

Normally physiotherapist recommend performing this exercise:

• 4 times before the main meals of the day while in the preoperative period. Repeating 10 times the exercise

• For the postoperative period, the recommendation is to perform it every hour repeating it 10 times.

You can work with your volumetric inspirometer until one moth after surgery. At that time, the device should be discarded or changed in case you need it because it becomes colonized by bacteria.

Do not let other members of your family or friends play with your device because it will cause that you breathe other´s virus and bacteria that can complicate your recovery.
