Abstract Therapeutic intervention model for cases in the respiratory tract in children is needed to increase lung capacity in cases of respiratory tract disorders. This study aims to facilitate children's needs in improving respiratory status and reduce the impact of hospitalization. The research used quantitative method. Researchers conducted a quantitative analysis of therapy with respiratory status. Description of variables were analyzed by numerical and categorical variables. This type of therapeutic intervention is the therapy of developing lung capacity with an inflatable type game. Analysis using paired sample t-test to see changes in respiratory status. The results showed respiratory status after the intervention occurred an increase in respiratory status with criteria for decreased respiratory frequency, increased pulse rate, decreased number of children who showed signs of chest retraction, development of nasal lobes and shortness of breath, and use of oxygen. The impact of hospitalization includes fussy children, feeling bored, afraid of health workers, asking to go home, and afraid of action, on average experienced by 23% of children. There are no tamper-tantrum respondents. Inflatable instrument are recommended for implementation of respiratory tract cases in children.
