Oscillating Positive Expiratory Pressure (Aerobika ®)
The oPEP system combines positive expiratory pressure therapy and airway vibrations to help mobilize pulmonary secretions. oPEP therapy enforces a resistance to exhalation at the mouth, while the airway vibration technology transmits movements upstream during exhalation so that airway walls may become free from mucous. Subjects will take home the device and use four times daily during the active part of the study.
