Study Groups

Aerobika OPEP Therapy
Bronchial drainage session with the Aerobika OPEP device consist of breathing through the device for 15 breaths in one cycle, and taking a few (3-5) relaxed exhalations in accordance with the forced exhalation technique. This cycle is repeated at least three times. The maximum number of cycles is five considering the need. The size of the applied expiratory resistance is selected individually. The pressure is 5 - 20 cm H2O and the oscillation frequency is up to about 15 Hz. Duration of the session: 10 - 20 min. Duration of the program: 4 days. Frequency: twice a day.
Aerobika* OPEP, PARI O-PEP (Flutter), PARI PEP® S System
The 4-day physiotherapy program consists of performing bronchial drainage using one of the three devices: Aerobika\* OPEP Device (Trudell Medical International), Flutter - PARI O-PEP Device (PARI Respiratory Equipment, Inc.) and PEP - PARI PEP® S System (PARI Respiratory Equipment, Inc.).
Flutter O-PEP Therapy
Bronchial drainage session with the Flutter O-PEP device consist of breathing through the device for 15 breaths in one cycle, and taking a few (3-5) relaxed exhalations in accordance with the forced exhalation technique. This cycle is repeated at least three times. The maximum number of cycles is five considering the need. The size of the applied expiratory resistance is selected individually. The pressure is 5 - 20 cm H2O and the oscillation frequency is up to about 15 Hz. Duration of the session: 10 - 20 min. Duration of the program: 4 days. Frequency: twice a day.

PEP Therapy
Bronchial drainage session with the PEP device consist of breathing through the device for 15 breaths in one cycle, and taking a few (3-5) relaxed exhalations in accordance with the forced exhalation technique. This cycle is repeated at least three times. The maximum number of cycles is five considering the need. The size of the applied expiratory resistance is selected individually. The pressure is 10-20 cmH2O during exhalation. Duration of the session: 10 - 20 min. Duration of the program: 4 days. Frequency: twice a day.
Aerobika* OPEP, PARI O-PEP (Flutter), PARI PEP® S System
The 4-day physiotherapy program consists of performing bronchial drainage using one of the three devices: Aerobika\* OPEP Device (Trudell Medical International), Flutter - PARI O-PEP Device (PARI Respiratory Equipment, Inc.) and PEP - PARI PEP® S System (PARI Respiratory Equipment, Inc.).
