The Effects of Oscillatory Positive Expiratory Pressure (OPEP) Therapy in Patients With COPD

The smart OPEP device is a standard OPEP device equipped with an additional detachable sensor that collects diagnostic information on the total elapsed time of OPEP use, the pressure generated during use, frequency and amplitude of pressure oscillations, respiratory information (inhalations/exhalation number/time), and sum of all oscillations with a pressure over 1 centimeter of water (cmH2O), all of which will inform the duration and quality of home use.
