Mouth pressures (maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) and maximum expiratory pressure (MEP)) were measured with a portable hand held mouth pressure meter (Micro Medical Ltd, Rochester, Kent, UK).

Objective: To obtain optimal titration of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) during mechanical ventilation with functional residual capacity and ventilation homogeneity measurements.

Panelists discuss how airway clearance devices and techniques, including chest physical therapy, active cycle breathing, exercise, hypertonic saline, and oscillatory positive expiratory pressure ...

It is suitable for patients of all ages, the PeakAir assists in monitoring the patient’s maximum expiratory flow and provides an indicator of the condition of the patient’s airway.

Results In the IMT group, both MIP and maximum expiratory pressure (17% and 23%, respectively; p≤0.03) were improved. Similar improvements were noted for the sham-IMT group with 23% and 33% from ...
