Airway Clearance Therapy Devices

Commonly known by their brand names flutter acapella aerobika and rc cornet these types of oscillating pep devices work in two ways.

Airway clearance therapy devices.

Airway clearance devices like the acapella and aerobika. A type of airway clearance therapy that uses a pneumatic machine to deliver small pressurized breaths at a fast rate to help mobilize secretions. Oscillating pep oscillating pep is an airway clearance technique where the person blows all the way out many times through a device. Often coupled with cpt postural drainage is an airway clearance therapy that uses gravity to facilitate mucus clearance from the air passages.

The synclara cough system uses mechanical insufflation exsufflation technology to clear secretions from the upper airways representing the most complete solution available to assist patients with vital secretion evacuation. However if desired by the clinician and appropriate for the patient a special aerosol therapy device can be interfaced with the vibralung to provide both aerosol delivery and acoustic airway clearance therapy at the same time. They take several different forms a mouthpiece a mask a vest etc and use air pressure oscillation or high frequency sound waves to get the job done. Airway clearance devices like the acapella and aerobika.

Airway clearance therapy has been a cornerstone of therapy aimed at minimizing the devastating effects of airway obstruction infection and inflammation due to mucus stasis on the conducting airways and lung parenchyma. The synclara cough system is a noninvasive therapy that simulates a cough to remove secretions in patients with compromised peak cough flow. Non invasive respiratory therapy airway clearance we re innovating to help patients breathe easier wherever they are by mobilizing secretions simplifying ventilation and addressing other pulmonary issues. Chest physical therapy cpt or chest pt is an airway clearance technique act to drain the lungs and may include percussion clapping vibration deep breathing and huffing or coughing.

Cpt can be performed manually with the hands or with the assistance of a mechanical hand held percussive device.
