VOLDYNE 5000 Volumetric Exerciser

VOLDYNE 5000 Volumetric Exerciser

The Volumetric Exerciser (air volume control) help the patient to practice breathing slowly and deeply after surgery or chest injuries.
• Collapse of the lung (Lung Atelectasis) both before and after surgery.
• Respiratory complications in patients with chest injuries.
Conditions that cause of abnormal lung function such as paralysis or malfunction of the diaphragm.

While inhaling, the patient will inhale the air through the tube, with close the mouth tightly around tube then Inhale through the mouth must be sucked slowly and deeply by having a yellow plastic sphere float up that will show air flows.

When the yellow plastic sphere float up to desired level. Notice the white plastic sphere that located at the base of the device. Must inhale until it move up to the set level.

When reaching the set level. Let the patient inhale for 5 to 10 seconds, then exhale by leaving out mouthpiece from mouth immediately. You will notice that the moving sphere will gradually move back to its original position. Then, rest for a moment and repeat again, you will see that this device can be shown the volume of inhaled air.

Step 1
Remove the device from packaging and connect the end of the tube with the device as shown in the picture

Step 2
Set the device vertically. Move the air volume pointer to the desired volume.

Step 3
Exhale normally, then close the mouth tightly around tube.

Step 4
Inhale slowly make white plastic sphere in the device move up. Meanwhile try to make the yellow plastic sphere on the left block moves up and holds it at the position labeled “BEST”. Try to inhale until the white plastic sphere rises closely to the set air volume. When the breath is fully inhaled, open your mouth to release white plastic sphere move down to start point. Then wait a few minutes and repeat again. Target volume depend on gender and age.

Guidelines and indications for use Volumetric Exerciser

Volumetric Exerciser is designed like as a sigh or yawning. Objective for practice patient breathe in slowly, deeply as long as possible by using the device that show how much of air volume inhale and how much is breathing enough. The patient should practice breath in slowly and deeply before using device and then allow the patient use the device and hold their breath for at least 3 seconds.

Indication
1. The patient who have condition that is likely to cause collapse of the lung (Lung Atelectasis)
2. A lung collapse occurs.
3. The patient who have condition that causes abnormal lungs function such as paralysis or malfunction of the diaphragm.

Contraindication
1. The patient unable to understand, cooperate or train to use the device.
2. Patients who cannot breathe deeply.
3. Patients who operate that creates a surgical airway at neck (tracheostomy) is not a contraindication but needs to be adapted appropriately.

Possible complications or dangers may occur.
1. It is not suitable for the treatment of severe cases of lung collapse or pneumonia.
2. Abnormal rapid breathing may occur. (Hyperventilation)
3. Abnormal pulmonary pressure may result in a barotrauma.
4. May cause pain at surgical wound increased in case of insufficient pain reliever medication.
5. If the patient is using an oxygen mask to help breathe may cause hypoxia when using the device because of temporarily removed the oxygen mask while using the respiratory management device.
6. It may stimulate bronchial constriction. (bronchospasm)
7.Make fatigue
