This study is designed to determine if patients using an incentive spirometer with visual and auditory signals will increase their use of the incentive spirometer and prevent lung complications.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the frequency of patients' use of physician ordered incentive spirometry increases with visual and auditory electronic encouragement (signals) compared to the no signal cohort. Secondarily this study will correlate short term outcomes of study patients to known short term outcome data from the study site and published data to determine if there is a relationship between frequency of use and positive or outcomes or complications, as cited by peer reviewed literature.
