Incentive spirometry has been extensively studied in weaning phase from the ventilation or to avoid postoperative respiratory complications. Its role in patient preparatory phase for anaesthesia and surgery needs to be explored and established before recommendation.

Incentive Spirometry alone is not recommended for routine use in the preoperative and postoperative setting to prevent postoperative pulmonary complications. It is recommended that incentive spirometry be used with deep breathing techniques, directed coughing, early mobilization, and optimal analgesia to prevent postoperative pulmonary complications. It is suggested that deep breathing exercises provide the same benefit as incentive spirometry in preoperative and postoperative setting to prevent postoperative pulmonary complications. Routine use of incentive spirometry to prevent atelectasis in patients after upper-abdominal surgery is not recommended. Routine use of incentive spirometry to prevent atelectasis after coronary artery bypass graft surgery is not recommended. It is suggested that a volume-oriented device be selected as an incentive spirometry device.
