it will depend on the patient, but usually 10 times every hour they should be doing this as it helps to recruit alveoli and improve ventilation/perfusion, the number of days will depend on their progress
@@NurseMinder Thank you very much indeed for your reply I've purchased the one with the balls. I don't have any medical conditions but I feel in my training my lung capacity has lessened and I definitely feel I have a mucus problem especially in the mornings.
Thank you so much for the video and the advice my device has arrived but it's also got a setting on it for measuring exhalation, is that something to measure too, or is inhalation the issue? Many thanks. It also has a dial on the top and the base for inhalation and expiration, I can only presume this is to alter the level of difficulty?
Excellent! Thank you. I'm getting ready to take the test soon so it was very refreshing.
Awesome! Thank you for the feedback and good luck on the test :)
Great video but how many times should you breathe in and how often should
For patient use, we often say 10 breaths, with short breaks in between and to repeat every hour
Thanks so much for your videos! I just found you and have really been appreciating your skills playlist!
Thank you for sharing 🙂
How often should the patient do these excersices? How many breaths, every x hours, for y days?

How long does it take for atelectasis recover with this
So many factors involved in that question - no clear cut answer
Do you have any thoughts\suggestions\feedback with COPD patients?
Thats a big question ... in what aspect are you asking about?
Thank u nice demo...
Can it be used normal person..any side effect..
Just to have healthy lungs....
Please confirm...
I have never thought about this. Based on it's use and intent, I don't think there are any risks
@@NurseMinder Thank u will look into n try..
Can you use the second type( the one with balls) to increase lung capacity for training, even though you don't have a medical condition or post-op?
Either will help improve lung capacity. They are similar in function, just different in the control we have.

How do you define slow inhalation? I can raise all balls but maybe too fast. Is that ok?
It is about being able to maintain the elevation of the ball - that is what tells us you have a consistent intake of air to expand the alveoli
@@NurseMinderI can maintain the first ball for 2 seconds at the top. I am 5'5" 46 yrs old. Is that good?
Great
Thanks
Long term shallow breathing can be the devil and cause readmits! 😢
I think you are saying re-admits and initially thought it was a diagnosis of “readmits” lol. 😂
@@NurseMinder 😅 totally meant that, but didn't check autocorrect 🤣
