With over 154 million cases of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) worldwide, clinicians continue to search for new treatment options to reduce its morbidity and mortality.
Most of the COVID-19 patients are developing mild to severe pulmonary complications, including Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). Hence Pulmonary Rehabilitation is playing a major role in Covid-19 Patients Recovery.
Pulmonary rehabilitation is a program of exercises that helps you to improve your shortness of breath,
increase your lung volume & capacity, and improve quality of life. This is provided by specialized physiotherapists who are very well trained in managing & customizing exercises according to COVID-19 Patients requirement.
Kinesio Prehab Practitioners ( Physiotherapists trained under Kinesio Prehab Institute ) are offering Specific Designed Pulmonary Rehab Program to COVID-19 Patients where Incentive Spirometry intervention is used to treat patients with mild-to-moderate COVID-19 disease.
Benefits Of Incentive Spirometry:
Many researches have shown that Incentive Spirometry helps in:
- improving lung function
- reducing mucus buildup in lungs
- strengthening lungs during extended rest
- lowering the chance of developing lung infections
How to use the incentive spirometer
- Sit on the edge of your bed if possible, or sit up as far as you can in bed.
- Hold the incentive spirometer in an upright position.
- Place the mouthpiece in your mouth and seal your lips tightly around it.
- Breathe in slowly and as deeply as possible. Notice the yellow piston rising toward the top of the column. The yellow indicator should reach the blue outlined area.
- Hold your breath as long as possible (at least for 5 seconds). Then exhale slowly and allow the piston to fall to the bottom of the column.
- Rest for a few seconds and repeat steps one to five at least 10 times every hour.
- After each set of 10 deep breaths, cough to be sure your lungs are clear. If you have an incision, support your incision when coughing by placing a pillow firmly against it.
- Once you are able to get out of bed safely, take frequent walks and practice coughing. You may stop using the incentive spirometer unless otherwise instructed by Kinesio Prehab Practitioners.
