Abstract

 Background: Those with lung diseases know too well how hard the simple act of breathing can become. The good news is that you can do something to help your body breath more easily. Choosing the right food, exercising and breathing exercises are effective ways to increase lung capacity. One of the very effective way to improve lung function is by using an incentive spirometer exercise. An incentive spirometer measures and improves lung function. Aims and Objectives: An experimental randomized block one group pre-test post test design study was conducted. “A study to assess the effectiveness of spirometry exercise on specific pulmonary parameters of patients with respiratory conditions admitted in selected wards of Dr. Vikhe Patil memorial hospital Ahmednagar”. The data was collected by using modified clinical proforma with non probability purposive sampling technique. The results were analyzed and interpreted using descriptive, inferential statistics and Paired ‘t’ test. Results: The study findings revealed that the average mean of the post-test experimental group was 0.731, while post-test control group was 0.481, the average SD of post test experimental group was 0.228, and post-test control group was 0.174. The obtained ‘t’ value was 7.02 which is greater than the table value, therefore, the spirometry exercise was found to be effective at 5% level and significant association was found between the post-test score and the demographic variables. Conclusion: Incentive spirometry exercises are effective in coping with respiratory disorders. Using an incentive spirometry exercise can help the patient to practice taking deep breaths, which can help to open airways, prevent fluid or mucus from building up in the lungs and make it easier to breath.
