Comparing airways clearance techniques in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and bronchiectasis: positive expiratory pressure or temporary positive expiratory pressure? A retrospective study
BACKGROUND Airway clearance techniques include positive expiratory pressure, commonly used in our clinical practice, and a recently introduced temporary positive expiratory pressure device called UNIKO®. It is unclear which one provides the best benefit to patients. OBJECTIVES The aim of this observational 4-year study was to retrospectively compare the efficacy of and specific indications fo...
متن کاملPositive expiratory pressure physiotherapy for airway clearance in people with cystic fibrosis.
BACKGROUND Chest physiotherapy is widely prescribed to assist the clearance of airway secretions in people with cystic fibrosis. Positive expiratory pressure (PEP) devices provide back pressure to the airways during expiration. This may improve clearance by building up gas behind mucus via collateral ventilation and by temporarily increasing functional residual capacity. Given the widespread us...
متن کاملUpright positive expiratory pressure therapy and exercise: effects on gastroesophageal reflux in COPD and bronchiectasis.
BACKGROUND Patients with COPD and patients with bronchiectasis undertake airway clearance therapy and exercise as part of management, but the effect of these activities on gastroesophageal acid exposure is unknown. This study aimed to determine if positive expiratory pressure (PEP) therapy and standardized exercise tasks were associated with increased gastroesophageal reflux. METHODS During ...
متن کاملA proximal system for positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).
A proximal positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) system was constructed by the simple addition of a venturi T-piece proximal to the exhalation limb of a breathing circuit. The level of PEEP or CPAP was determined by the amount of flow powering the venturi. This system can provide positive pressure in excess of 40 cm H2O without the need for check...
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...
