Incentive spirometer!

I know that I did leave you any information previously, so I will now elaborate on the IS!. It measures the amount of air that you inhale!. If you exhale into it, it will not measure that!. The IS' main job is to keep the lungs well expanded and clear!. This will help to prevent atelectasis!. By preventing atelectasis, you will also be preventing pneumonia!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

A portable oxygen concentrator!?

Or a portable oxygen tank, which is the older version!.

Edit: A nebulizer is for administering medicine, not just breathing, but you might be right about respirator being what he's looking for!.

Edit: The ball and tube thing regulates the oxygen flow!.

Well, here's a blue oxygen concentrator!.
