FRT Lab: Activity 8

1. Draw and label volume oriented IS and flow-oriented IS.

2. Answer the following:

a. Differentiate volume oriented from flow-oriented IS.
- Earlier studies that have compared flow and volume-oriented Incentive spirometry
suggest that physiologically there is a difference in the effect of these two devices. Flow-
oriented devices (Triflo device) impose more work of breathing, and increase muscular
activity of the upper chest. Volume- oriented devices (Coach 2 device) impose less work
of breathing and improve diaphragmatic activity

b. Write the procedure on how to perform incentive spirometry

- Sit up and hold the device.
- Place the mouthpiece spirometer in your mouth. Make sure you make a good seal over
the mouthpiece with your lips.
- Breathe out (exhale) normally.
- Breathe in (inhale) SLOWLY.
