In vitro evaluation of positive expiratory pressure devices attached to nebulizers.
BACKGROUND Patients with cystic fibrosis perform airway clearance techniques and receive nebulized medications on a regular basis. Some positive expiratory pressure (PEP) devices allow concomitant administration of aerosol. I hypothesized that this practice alters the aerosol characteristics and patient dose. I compared the aerosol characteristics and patient dose of nebulized albuterol from 2 ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Pressure Generated by Resistors From Different Positive Expiratory Pressure Devices.
BACKGROUND Breathing exercises with positive expiratory pressure (PEP) are used to improve pulmonary function and airway clearance. Different PEP devices are available, but there have been no studies that describe the pressure generated by different resistors. The purpose of this study was to compare pressures generated from the proprietary resistor components of 4 commercial flow-dependent PEP...
متن کاملPositive expiratory pressure and oscillatory positive expiratory pressure therapies.
Airway clearance techniques, historically referred to as chest physical therapy, have traditionally consisted of a variety of breathing maneuvers or exercises and manual percussion and postural drainage. The methods and types of airway clearance techniques and devices have rapidly increased in an effort to find a more efficacious strategy that allows for self-therapy, better patient adherence a...
متن کاملPositive end-expiratory pressure.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW In the last 2 years, several reports have dealt with recruitment/positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) selection. Most of them confirm previous results and few add new information. RECENT FINDINGS It has been definitely confirmed that opening pressures are different throughout the acute respiratory distress syndrome lung parenchyma, ranging from 5-10 up to 30-40 cmH2O. The...
متن کاملResponse of Maximum Inspiratory Pressure and Functional Capacity to Positive End-Expiratory Pressure Device after Valvular Heart Surgery
Background: Pulmonary complications following valvular heart surgery are common and contribute to increased duration of hospital stay, rate of morbidity, and mortality. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the response of maximum inspiratory pressure and functional capacity to Positive End-Expiratory Pressure device in patients who underwent valvular hea...
