Incentive spirometry prescription and inspiratory capacity recovery guideline for the early period after open heart surgery

Incentive spirometry (IS) is often used as lung expansion therapy for increasing postoperative IS inspiratory capacity (ISIC) in open heart surgery (OHS) patients. However, currently there is a lack of guidelines and prescription on how this therapy should be administered for these patients. Althoug...
