It can play an auxiliary rehabilitation role for lung cancer patients, mainly to avoid dyspnea and atelectasis after lung cancer surgery. Balloon blowing lung function training can maintain and enhance alveolar elasticity and relieve hypoxia, which is the core of lung rehabilitation training. It is very helpful for lung cancer patients to blow balloons in the early stage.

If there is no balloon, you can do deep breathing exercise, keep your body upright, relax your muscles, inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth. You can practice deep and long exhalation until you exhale, and then inhale naturally. The ratio of breathing time to inspiratory time is 2∶ 1 or 3∶ 1, and the breathing frequency is about 16 times per minute.

When blowing a balloon, you usually take a deep breath until you can't breathe any more, and then hold your breath. Blow into the balloon mouth slowly until it stops blowing. Keep the frequency at 15 to 20 times per minute and practice 2 to 3 times a day. What needs to be reminded here is that the speed of blowing balloons is not fast, and the number of times is not doing it, but trying to blow out the air. This is because this is practicing abdominal breathing. If you work part-time for a long time, it will help to reduce the residual lung volume, improve lung function and delay the progress of chronic lung obstruction.
