Conclusions: Although opportunistic testing by visiting trained nurses substantially increased and improved spirometry performance compared with usual care, translating increased detection of airflow obstruction into diagnosis of COPD requires further development of the model.

I guess incentive spirometry is quite effective in increasing the inspiratory effort of the pts esp post surgeries...it gives the pt a valuable feedback as to the effort they put in and thus effectively prevent atelectasis... ... This is slightly different to it's effectiveness, which should be taken in the context of what...

3) To determine which clinical characteristics are associated with quit attempts, and identify barriers to the effectiveness of spirometry in enhancing the quit attempt rate. These data will provide the framework for developing a future large clinical trial of the effectiveness of spirometry on smoking cessation.

To assess how well the baseline spirometry during the CPX parallels PFTs we evaluated 224 patients with advanced heart failure 53.0±11.2 (19 -80) years old who were being considered for heart transplantation. With exercise a mean of peak VO2 was 15.9 (5.5-2.5) ml/kg/min).

No difference was found between the two groups in atelectasis, spirometry, oxygen saturation, pulmonary infection, or hospital stay. Use of the spirometer, however, was not monitored, and although the study mimicked practice as it often occurs, the effectiveness of the spirometer cannot be fully evaluated.
