Summary

Different diseases worldwide have repercussions at the level of multiple systems; but without a doubt a higher prevalence in the cardiopulmonary system. When a patient is hospitalized, he enters a continuous and often prolonged rest stay. Wherein, this physical inactivity plus its base pathology negatively impact its lung capacity. And low lung capacity has been shown to increase the risk of mortality, hospital stay, and complications. That said, the use of the device known as the "incentive inspirometer" is important, which to some extent there is no standardization of its use or applicability in a structured and planned manner. For this reason, the Japer method emerges as an idea; which, pretending through an exercise prescription through the incentive inspirometer according to 50% to 80% of the maximum inspiring capacity of the patient, improves their inspiring capacity. Having said this, the general objective was to analyze the effects of the JaPer method to improve lung capacity versus the traditional use of an inspirometer in hospitalized patients.

Detailed description

In 1974 the Respiratory Rehabilitation (RR) Committee of the American College of Chest Physicians defined RR as an art. It took almost 20 more years for another group of experts to describe it as a service. Moving forward in our reasoning, it is important to remember that all physical activity produces an increase in metabolic energy expenditure, as a result of body movement carried out in a specific period of time. The current literature through various organizations has been oriented to promote activities that arouse interest in generating movement and thus obtain benefits in improving health and quality of life. The respiratory physiotherapy techniques are basically divided into 2 types: facilitating techniques for expectoration and respiratory exercises. The former are indicated in hypersecretory processes, in alterations in the properties of mucus, ciliary dysfunction and alterations in the cough mechanism, to keep the airway free of secretions. The second is focused on improving a respiratory pattern, a respiratory reeducation, strengthening of respiratory muscles, preventing and / or reducing dyspnea and fatigue through the use of the inspirometer, respiratory exercises and specific techniques. In addition, it helps to decrease the hospital stay. Which, when prolonged, generates negative effects on the health system, such as: increased costs, poor accessibility to hospitalization services, saturation of emergencies and risks of adverse events. Plus all the negative effects it can generate in a hospitalized patient.

Conditions

• Inspiratory Capacity

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Respiratory muscle training 1 (Experimental Group)	The participant must perform a series of exercises that will be the same for the two groups in this investigation. In addition to the exercises, this group will use the incentive inspirometer device with a new method created by the main author called the Method JaPer. For the method JaPer, the participant sits and holds the device. Then put the mouthpiece of the inspirometer in the mouth. Be sure to make a good seal on the mouthpiece with your lips. And exhale normally until you run out of air. And after that, inhale slowly as much as possible. This maximum value will be taken as an indicative parameter of its maximum inspiratory capacity and 50 and 80% for 1 set of 10 repetitions at 50% of their maximum value, 2 sets of 10 repetitions at 60% of its maximum capacity and ends with 1 series at 80% of its maximum capacity. It is highlighted that in each series before finishing and without stopping to rest, the participant must do 5 repetitions at 100% maximum capacity
OTHER	Respiratory muscle training 2 (Control Group)	Training of respiratory muscles under the protocol of conventional use. Which is that the participant sits and holds the device. Then put the mouthpiece of the inspirometer in the mouth. Be sure to make a good seal on the mouthpiece with your lips. And exhale (exhale) normally until you run out of air. And after that, inhale (inspire) slowly as much as possible. Repeat 10 times and use these indications for 3 sets. In addition, participants must perform the same breathing exercises that are identical for experimental group.
