Incentive Spirometry in Routine Management of COPD Patients

Sex: All

Ages: 40 Years – N/A

Phase: NA

Enrollment: 40

Sponsor: Menoufia University

Summary

The incentive spirometer is a device that encourages patients, with visual and other positive feedback, to maximally inflate their lungs and sustain that inflation. However, its efficacy in patients with COPD has been little documented especially in diaphragmatic function. This study tried to assess the role of incentive spirometry on Spirometric functions, Sonographic diaphragmatic function, and the scale of dyspnea in COPD patients with exacerbation and with follow-up of these parameters after 2 months.
