Deep Breathing Exercises
for Pneumonia
Controlled deep breathing and incentive spirometry to expand collapsed lung areas and prevent complications during pneumonia recovery.
How it works
Deep breathing exercises expand atelectatic lung tissue, improving ventilation and reducing risk of complications from prolonged shallow breathing.
What to watch for
Perform gently. Avoid overexertion. Physiotherapy referral may be appropriate for severe pneumonia.
