If you are preparing for heart bypass surgery, I am pretty sure that you will become familiar with the device below during your time in the intensive care unit. This breathing apparatus is known as an incentive spirometer.
I just received an email asking me if I had an image of spirometer. Luckily, I do. In fact, I have a picture of me blowing on an incentive spirometer in the intensive care unit. 
Given my heavy use of the incentive spirometer during my time in and outside of the hospital, I thought some of you may want to know what an incentive spirometer is.

As for your patient education on using an incentive spirometer, I would encourage you to discuss this with your surgeon or ICU nurse during your time in the hospital. The incentive spirometer can be very, very helpful for cardiorespiratory issues.
Keep on tickin,
