What is vibratory PEP?Vibratory PEP therapy is a drug free supplemental treatment for COPD and excessive secretions. It adds back pressure and vibrations to the patient’s expired breath.
Benefits of vibratory PEP therapy • Aid in the mobilization of retained
secretions related to cystic fibrosis and chronic bronchitis
• Reduce air trapping, common with asthma and COPD
• Prevent or reverse atelectasis
• Optimize the delivery of bronchodilators
Reduce COPD Flare-ups. Reduce length of stay.Patients receiving PEP or OPEP therapy with acapella saw a reduction in length of stay of 1.5 days.2
