DOI: 10.1080/09593985.2018.1443185
Abstract: ABSTRACT Introduction: Impairment of global and regional pulmonary ventilations is a well-known consequence of general anesthesia. Positive expiratory pressure (PEP) or incentive spirometry (IS) is commonly prescribed, albeit their efficacy is poorly demonstrated. The aim… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2023.1159227
Abstract: Impaired airway clearance in patients with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis causes frequent bacterial infection, chronic inflammation, and progressive tissue destruction. We aimed to evaluate whether an oscillating positive expiratory pressure (OPEP) device could allow effective sputum… read more here.

Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Frontiers in Physiology"
DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2021.710622
Abstract: Purpose: Positive expiratory pressure (PEP) breathing has been shown to increase arterial oxygenation during acute hypoxic exposure but the underlying mechanisms and consequences on symptoms during prolonged high-altitude exposure remain to be elucidated. Methods: Twenty-four… read more here.
