Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Provision of signed and dated informed consent form 2. Stated willingness to comply with all study procedures and availability for the duration of the study 3. Male or female, 18 years or older. 4. Undergoes any anatomic lung resection surgery 5. An incentive spirometer is expected to be ordered for the patient as standard-of-care 6. There is no restriction on active medications. Exclusion Criteria: There are no exclusions based on economic status, gender, race, or ethnicity. An individual who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from participation in this study: 1. Vulnerable populations who in the opinion of the investigator are unable to give Informed Consent for reasons of incapacity, immaturity, adverse personal circumstances or lack of autonomy. 2. History of prior non-compliance to prescribed therapy or presence or history of significant psychiatric condition (e.g., drug or alcohol addiction, psychosis, schizophrenia), 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. 3. Populations for whom in the opinion of the investigator, incentive spirometry is deemed inappropriate due to medical condition or otherwise. 4. Pregnant individuals due to low likelihood of meeting inclusion criteria 4. Licensed medical professionals on the clinical team will follow proper procedures in determining if the individual is consenting. Proper procedures entail doing all of the following: giving a patient adequate information concerning the study, providing adequate opportunity for the patient to consider all options, responding to the patient's questions, ensuring that the patient has comprehended this information, obtaining the patient's voluntary agreement to participate and, continuing to provide information as the patient or situation requires. There will be ample opportunity for the patient to ask questions. In the event that the patient is in a vulnerable population and unable to provide consent, they will not be eligible to participate in the study and thus will not be screened. If the individual is not able to provide informed consent or if consent is not certain due to impairments or other factors, they will not be considered for study participation. In the event that the patient is in a vulnerable population and unable to provide consent, they will not be eligible to participate in the study and thus will not be screened.
