A STUDY THE EFFECTIVENESS OF INCENTIVE SPIROMETRY IN INCREASING THE LUNG VOLUME CAPACITIES AMONG THE QUARRY WORKERS
Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 12
Abstract
Introduction: India is facing various environment problems, seventy percentage of respiratory problems due to suspended particular matter, is high in Indian environment. The sources of respiratory suspended particular matter are diesel vehicle, power plant, cook stoves and industrial process emissions. Aim: A study to evaluate the effectiveness of incentive spirometry in increasing the lung volume capacities among the quarry workers in a selected industry at Kollam district. Methods: Pretest and posttest lung volume capacities were checked by spirometer. In this study includes forced expiratory volume (FVC), forced expiratory volume at one second (FEV1), forced expiratory volume in 1 sec/forced vital capacities (FEV1/FVC), forced mid expiratory flow fate (FEF25-75%), forced expiratory flow rates at 75% (FEF75%). Results: The mean posttest lung volume capacities of the group were greater than the mean pretest lung volume capacities with a significant mean difference. There is a association between forced vital capacities and selected demographic variable work experience (p = 0.02). Conclusion: Incentive spirometric exercise is effective in improving the lung volume capacities and also it was found that there is no significant association between the lung volume capacities and the demographic variables.
