Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • * Patient has undergone a qualifying surgical procedure.
  • * Patient is aged 18 years or over.
  • * Patient has incentive spirometry ordered or incentive spirometry must be part of the study site's standard of care which is implemented by hospital staff.
  • * Patient is able to comply with all study required incentive spirometry instructions.
  • * Patient is without severe hearing or impaired visual acuity deficiency such that they cannot hear or see the audible and visual signal for the InSee monitor.
  • * Patients meeting any of the following exclusion criteria at baseline will be excluded from study participation:
  • * Vulnerable Populations (Pregnant, minors, prisoners, those with significantly reduced mental acuity).
  • * Patients where incentive spirometry is inappropriate (patients with Tractotomy, patients who are hemodynamically unstable, patients in reverse isolation due to infection).
  • * Patients with a history of prior non-compliance or the presence or history of psychiatric condition (including drug or alcohol addiction), or cognitive issue which would in the opinion of the investigator, make it difficult for the patient to comply with the study procedures or follow the investigators instructions.
  • * Any medical condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would place the patient at increased risk if they participated.
  • * Any Physician determination that the patient should not participate.
