They handed me this device when I was leaving the hospital, no instructions, thank you very much, and watching the beautiful woman actually helps a lot, and this is from a dying old man. Thank you very much.
What's wrong with the Healthcare industry these days? I, too, was given one of these with no one coming in to show me how to use it. After two days I decided to look up a video. Thank you for this.
The didn't teach me all this in the hospital. But this thing is great! When I was weak, I was just over 1000. Now I max out at 4000 with extra breath every time. Who else tried to blow in it? Don't lie.
Geoffrey Levine called my mom at the hospital this morning and she was like “I think I broke a rib blowing into that thing” I’m like mom you breathe in because the anesthesia weighs your lungs down and you want to rebuild the ability to have deep breaths. Im pretty upset they aren’t showing patients how to use this thing.
QTee Sorry to hear. I’ve had 2 friends that had it and they were both so miserable they wanted to die but they are both fine now. I hope you are feeling better soon.
This is the best demo out of everything I’ve watched. Very specific step by step, especially highlighting breathing in thru the mouth and not thru the nose.
I was only half there at discharge. Pain meds and procedure left me delirious. I know they told me to use it but I even forgot it. I ended up back in ER two days later with back spasms and crazy symptoms. I then was reminded and given another one. I'm thankful for their patience. 😅
The biggest way to help patients with this device? Tell them out loud (and print in big letters on the instructions) "It's for BREATHING IN, not blowing." Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, assumes it's a breathalyzer that you BLOW INTO. Some even come back the next day claiming it's broken. That's a very hard assumption to overcome, but it seems so obvious to healthcare workers that they forget to mention it when giving or showing it to patients for the first time. You can even write a joke reminder on the package: "THIS THING SUCKS."
After my dad was in the hospital because of asbestos in his work place, he had one of these. I asked him how to use it and he said to me that you have to blow into the tube and keep it up to the indicated mark. So who gave him that idea? What was explained to him. Your right that the explanation given to patients isn't very clear and therefore they will use it incorrectly.
2 more weeks and I go under for my 3rd surgery in a month. "I'm on burn unit trauma don't get me STARTED got 3rd degree burns all way down to the tendon on my ankle. They gave me a 4000mL machine I can get up to 3200 and got let go back down. This y I hate hospitals because they sorta explained it but not the seriousness of useing it or the whole 10 times an hour then 3 Coughs. Thanks for the detailed intrusions really appreciate it. Thanks
Is helping lots however now i have seen the video, i will know how to use it better. I was unaware of use @ 10 times per hour as have only been using it at 3-4. This video should be a training aid for all users of the device 👍🙂
i used to be able to pin this to the very top easily but now it's hard to get over 3750 line.. i wish i knew a range of what's normal for weight/age/height etc.
am recovering from a broken sternum. I am 63years and 5 9. It's been three weeks since the break. I can get the top of the indicator to 2,750. Is that good?
I'm recovering from Covid-19. Been in the hospital for about a month,(December 29th through January 30th), and I need to exercise my lungs 🫁 I'm on oxygen at the moment. Trying to wean myself off of it so that I won't be dependent on it.
How often should they be replace? The little circular white filter in has turned a yellowish color. But there is not way to take it apart or anything. I assume you just be a new one? Thanks.
I came to the doctor's office and he gave me that test because he thought I had COPD and I was completely out of breath. I failed the test, but only because my dentures kept coming loose. So I exhaled with dentures flopping around in my mouth. The truth was that the fatigue was due to a sinus infection.
I didn't use after I started to feel better after pneumonia. Big mistake. I started to get fluids in my lungs again. I was at 3000 when I quit and now starting over I'm back at1500. I started over and will continue for ever I guess. As long as this tool works as well as it does I'm okay with that. Don't forget to cough and try to clear your throat even if nothing happens. Great product
After the first rep of 10, do we breathe through nose & blow it before inhaling throughr the hose, or do we breathe through the nose & blow only before the first interaction with the hose (& the remaining nine repa don’t have deep nose breathing in advance)?
I’ve searched all over the internet but I can’t seem to find an instructional video of this in Vietnamese. My grandpa needs to use this and I’ve tried to translate and tell him, but he’s just not getting the idea of controlled breathing. Can anyone help?
Go and see your doctor . Each person has an individual number . Yes there is a ballpark number where you should be based on gender height age and weight , but number can be off as they don’t exactly match your lung size. You should measure your number when you are feeling good and breathing normally . Those are your actual numbers.
29 yrs old but 6'3" so my lungs are huge. They only gave me a 2500ml spirometer and I had to hold my breath, let it fall then resume testing. Highest I got adding it all up was 7000ml.
Trust me, as one who was trained in inhalation therapy, the machine does help, but the procedure can be done well without it, with some thought and care.

This demo is without a doubt the best of all demos. The instructor speaks clearly and with perfect enunciation. 5 FIVE STARS
That is what I thought and why I'm saving this video.
I was never told any specific instructions after lobectomy. This is wonderful. Thank you ❤
This is the best instructional video by far. 👏🏾
The didn't teach me all this in the hospital. But this thing is great! When I was weak, I was just over 1000. Now I max out at 4000 with extra breath every time.

How u hit 4000

QTee Keep practicing. It’s just like building muscle at the gym. You don’t want to get Covid 19 with weak lungs.
JEREMIAH ISRAEL Practice. It’s just like working muscles at the gym.

Exactly what I was searching for. I wish all demos were this great. Thanks!
Had my vats lobectomy surgery on the 9th January and was told to get one by my doctor. Thanks for the instructions very helpful!

The top of mine is 2500. What is considered good? I get 2000 out of the 2500. Is that good? Or normal?
i used to be able to pin this to the very top easily but now it's hard to get over 3750 line.. i wish i knew a range of what's normal for weight/age/height etc.
What if you get light headed?
Is the reading taken at the top of the piston or at the bottom?
Thank you for the instructions, they were very helpful. I wonder if she should be using the handle on the right.

Sarah's Creation's I am, As a matter of fact I use daily 7 times it has made my Asthma well manageable

We are, trying to figure it out. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Nurse/Doc never gave them.

Yes I need to do that also recovering from Covid-19 Pneumonia myself.
@@babybubbles842 Same here and also the CA fires have played havoc on my lungs.
Same here. Recovering from pneumonia and they didn't tell me how important this thing was
I have a long haul covid cough....good video.....device helping me....up to 2000-2500
Very good instruction, the nurse never gave this details

Is it good to use it when you have a cold ?
thank you for this video! the instruction is very clear

Very good instruction video.
Best demo!
The hospital gives you this thing right out of surgery as if it’s as familiar to you as using a toothbrush
Your comment made me laugh, and now my stitching hurts. Seriously! I am 4 days post-op and am now wondering how to use this effectively!
thank you for this
I have this one
How much price is it ? I can get it in Bangladesh ?
can this be use by healthy individual as well?
For sure why not
I had 10 rib fractures and a pierced lung almost 3 months ago and I still can't get past 2250💔
I can’t get over 1500 post surgery
Nice Demo, next time use the handle to hold the Spirometer please. Even in the picture they not callout the handle. Thanks
I’m doing this in lab for anatomy & physiology II tomorrow!
My results are usually between 2,000 - 2,500. I have asthma, am obese and 35 years old. Is in the 2,000s in a normal range for an asthmatic?
Go and see your doctor . Each person has an individual number . Yes there is a ballpark number where you should be based on gender height age and weight , but number can be off as they don’t exactly match your lung size. You should measure your number when you are feeling good and breathing normally . Those are your actual numbers.
Dude I’m below that holy fuck
I read where it needs to be replaced every 3 months so take the old one modify by placing a hole in the air chamber and sticking a joint in the hole
Lol
perhaps a bit counterproductive, but yeah..
😂🤣
Does any body know that if I have cough i should use or stop using this ? My cough is so nagging i cant even speak
Are healthy people supposed to be able to get it up to 4000? I had surgery a month ago and I still can’t
Project is very nice, just thinking that it would look real nice with a brass or bronze bolt that is shown off, just a little extra class..
They put this in my hospital room after surgery and told me to use it, just not how to use it.
the hospital gave me one when i went for my hernia surgery. it made me dizzy and almost pass out.. i quit using it
Hospital gave it to you,must be needed.
I don’t see her holding her breathe
Cool 😎
Can you hurt yourself with doing it every 15 to 30 minute. Should we just do once every hour?
No they say you can use it all day every day.. the 10x an hour is minimum
You use this every 2 hours and do it 10 times each time
I barely made it past the zero!!
I can hit 2500 max
I’m at 1500, 2000 max. Absolutely terrified at the thought
@@aliensoko before I was hitting barely a 1000 but now 2500 I’m not sure what. Is the normal range
I've never been able to get over 2000
I cant even fucking get passed 1250
i made it to the top at2500 im24
I made it to 4000 I'm 27
29 yrs old but 6'3" so my lungs are huge. They only gave me a 2500ml spirometer and I had to hold my breath, let it fall then resume testing. Highest I got adding it all up was 7000ml.
Or, engage your mind, and 'breathe deeply' and cough after deep breaths.
Trust me, as someone who has survived double pneumonia, this little thing does way more than you think it does!
Trust me, as one who was trained in inhalation therapy, the machine does help, but the procedure can be done well without it, with some thought and care.
