چکیده:
Objectives: This study was aimed to determine the Effect effect of incentive spirometry on
pulmonary function tests in patients undergoing hemodialysis.
Methods: This study was a randomized clinical trial conducted in on hemodialysis patients.
The obtained Data were collected from 26 patients in the experimental and 26 patients in
the control group. In The the control group, patients received their routine care and the
experimental group intervention for the experimental group was demonstrate the incentive
spirometry program. The patients were encouraged to use the device for 5–10 breaths per
session, every hour while awake for two months. The Pulmonary pulmonary function tests
including FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC evaluated was indicatedwere taken at the beginning, and
then 2 months after the starting onset of the study in two both groups.
Results: The findings showed no significant differences between the two groups in terms of
demographic characteristics and FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC before the intervention. The FVC,
FEV1 increased significantly in the intervention group compared to the control group (P<0.05)
after two months, while no significant improvement was observed in the FEV1/FVC ratio.
Discussion: This study showed significant differences in pulmonary function (FVC, FEV1)
in the two groups. Therefore, incentive spirometry seems to be an effective choice for
improvements in pulmonary function test in hemodialysis patients. But considering the limited
studies available, further research is required in this area.

com 265 September 2018, Volume 16, Number 3 Highlights I ranian Rehabilitation Journal ● Pulmonary complication is common in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) who need supportive care in this regard.
● Incentive spirometer seems to be a safe medical tool and an effective choice for improving the pulmonary function tests such as Forced Vital Capacity (FVC), Forced Expiratory Volume in One second (FEV1) in hemodialysis patients.
Our study showed that the incentive spirometry had a positive effect on pulmonary function tests (FVC, FEV1) in patients on hemodialysis.
Incentive spirometer could be an effective device for improving lung function in hemodialysis pa- tients but considering the limited studies available, further research is required in this area.
Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of incentive spirometry on pulmonary function tests in patients on hemodialysis.
4. Discussion Our study showed that the incentive spirometry had a positive effect on pulmonary function tests (FVC, FEV ) in patients on hemodialysis.
