Continuous positive airway pressure
The use of positive pressure airway seeking the prevention or treatment of hypoxic respiratory failure, improved arterial oxygenation, restoration or maintenance of lung volume reduction and atelectasis, decrease the work of breathing, decreased dyspnea index and increased residual volume.
Incentive spirometry
The volume of incentive spirometry (Voldyne ®) is able to provide increased transpulmonary pressure gradient, which can prevent or reverse atelectasis.
Breath Stacking
The method allowed to obtain a maximum lung expansion with minimal patient compliance.
Expiratory Positive Airway Pressure
The use of positive pressure airway seeking the prevention or treatment of hypoxic respiratory failure, improved arterial oxygenation, restoration or maintenance of lung volume reduction and atelectasis, decrease the work of breathing, decreased dyspnea index and increased residual volume.
Intermittent positive pressure breathing
The use of positive pressure airway seeking the prevention or treatment of hypoxic respiratory failure, improved arterial oxygenation, restoration or maintenance of lung volume reduction and atelectasis, decrease the work of breathing, decreased dyspnea index and increased residual volume.
Bi-level positive airway pressure
The use of positive pressure airway seeking the prevention or treatment of hypoxic respiratory failure, improved arterial oxygenation, restoration or maintenance of lung volume reduction and atelectasis, decrease the work of breathing, decreased dyspnea index and increased residual volume.
