Is she okay? That’s gone beyond “sexy raspy voice” straight to “someone please get her an incentive spirometer!”

(1/2) With all due respect, Reverend, “the jury wasn’t all white” doesn’t settle the question. It took until 2023 to abandon race-based spirometer corrections, and studies have found medical professionals who believed Black people feel less pain or have thicker skin.

It is a great inspiration for patients worldwide that world-renowned surgeon Dr. Muhammad Adil, FRCS, is successfully achieving all three balls on the incentive spirometer, even after a grueling eight-hour surgery performed just 24 hours ago.

Spirometer can do better job thn this exercise....try it

😭😭🤣🤣 I once mistakenly answered giving Incentive Spirometer for a patient with bells palsy. Though I got it correct. It wasn't the first line of treatment. Since that day my name became Incentive Spirometry.😭

I am but recovery it a lot slower than I would like. Make sure your dad uses that incentive spirometer. It sucks but it’ll help so much! Prayers for your dad 🙏

This kolu should have a Spirometer beside him because he’s running out of strength to talk… Staged format though

I have to do spirometer exercises and I just about almost passed out 🙃

Pormal nang nagkasundo ang Quezon City Government at biopharmaceutical firm na AstraZeneca sa pagpapalakas ng programa kontra Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)! Ang COPD ay isa sa mga sakit na dulot ng paninigarilyo. Kapag may COPD, nahihirapan ang indibidwal na huminga nang maayos, na lubhang nakakaapekto sa kanyang pang-araw-araw na gawain at kalidad ng pamumuhay. Sa pamamagitan ng Juan Health Lung Screening Program ng Lungsod at AstraZeneca, paiigtingin pa ang mga programa para mas maisulong ang awareness, screening, at early detection ng COPD. Magte-train din ng mga health worker na magsasagawa ng screening at diagnosis sa mga residente, sa tulong ng mga digital spirometer ng AstraZeneca. Target ng programa na ma-screen ang aabot sa 3,000 QCitizen. Lumagda sa ceremonial MOA signing sina Mayor Joy Belmonte at AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals Phils. Country President Lotis Ramin, na sinaksihan ng mga department head ng lungsod.

🚨 COPD Warning! Think an incentive spirometer helps? UK HCPC-licensed Respiratory Physio Erick Ouma explains why forcing deep inhalation causes dangerous "breath stacking" in COPD patients. Use an OPEP device like Aerobika to get trapped air OUT instead! 🫁 📞 254114339384

Today, Dr. Abhishek Shukla discussed the importance of breathing exercises and lung expansion therapy in maintaining respiratory health. Techniques such as balloon blowing and the commonly used three-ball incentive spirometer exercise help encourage deep breathing, improve lung expansion, and enhance ventilation of the air sacs (alveoli) within the lungs. These exercises are particularly beneficial for patients recovering from surgery, prolonged illness, respiratory infections, or periods of immobility. By taking slow, deep breaths and attempting to raise the balls within the spirometer, patients can strengthen their respiratory muscles, improve oxygen exchange, and reduce the risk of complications such as lung collapse (atelectasis) and secretion retention. Regular practice of lung expansion exercises can improve breathing efficiency, increase lung capacity, and support overall respiratory function. When performed correctly under medical guidance, these simple yet effective techniques form an important part of pulmonary rehabilitation and recovery, especially in elderly patients and those with underlying respiratory conditions. #LungExpansion #AasthaCares #DrAbhishekShukla #RespiratoryTherapy #IncentiveSpirometry #PulmonaryRehabilitation #BreathingExercises #MedicalEducation #PatientCare #RespiratoryHealth

Cough and deep breathe (with the aid of your huggy bear/heart) and as mentioned earlier, use your incentive spirometer. Sending lots of prayers ❤️ 🙏.

Keepin' your ball right in the sweet spot. (Spirometer inuendo)

Just talked with the Doc & he reassured me that he is ok & making progress each day. He just needs to do the spirometer more to cough up the yuck. They just took out 1 more of his chest tubes so there's only 1 left now. His bloodwork is looking better & his chest xray is stable🙏

Your lungs are becoming a data stream. In 2025, WHO/ERS counted 81.7M Europeans with chronic respiratory disease and $20.7B in productivity losses [1]. FDA-cleared home spirometers now put full lung-function tests in patients’ hands [2]. 🫁 This is not a gadget story. It is earlier diagnosis, faster triage, cleaner trials and less postcode medicine. Handheld devices may hold 46% of spirometer sales in 2025 [3]. 📊 The bottleneck: accuracy, reimbursement, workflow design and clinical accountability. 🤔 What is most overhyped in handheld spirometry the device, the data, or the care model?

Episode three of Intention to Treat explores how race is used to determine whether Black workers get disability payments. 👉 nej.md/ITTs2e3 The spirometer is a standard tool used to determine which patients receive work-related medical-disability benefits. Due to a race correction programmed into the device, countless Black workers, including war veterans, are inaccurately assessed for lung disease and prevented from receiving benefits owed to them. In part three of 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙍𝙖𝙘𝙚 𝙀𝙦𝙪𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣, host Rachel Gotbaum goes to Chicago, where Dr. Peter Sporn and Dr. Cheryl Connor are leading efforts to remove race correction from lung-function testing at VA hospitals. She meets Black veterans who are struggling to get proper medical treatment and disability payments that reflect their actual lung disease. And she discusses the Department of Veterans Affairs’ decision to prevent additional VA hospitals from switching to race-neutral lung testing — a switch that could mean over a billion dollars owed to Black veterans. Explore this topic in the latest episode of the Intention to Treat podcast: nej.md/ITTs2e3

Your doc didn’t do spirometer, and you didn’t show your magical diet and mystical crystals, didn’t reverse changes in FEV1 or bronchial secretions. So, sorry you woo analysis is total conjecture re respiration rate. That might work on the goofballs in the pub, but not here.
