SN instructed patient on Lobectomy Care. The deep breathing and coughing will decrease your risk for a lung infection. Take a deep breath and hold it for
as long as you can. Let the air out and then cough strongly. Deep breaths help open your airway. You may be given an
incentive spirometer to help you take deep breaths. Put the plastic piece in your mouth and take a slow, deep breath. Then let the air out and cough. Repeat these steps
10 times every hour.
