Background[edit | edit source]
Positive pressure therapy (PEP) is used to enhance mucus clearance by either preventing the airways from collapsing by stenting them or through collateral ventilation that helps in increasing the intrathoracic pressure distal to the retained secretions or by increasing the functional residual capacity. Oscillatory positive pressure (OPEP) therapy was first developed in Switzerland. OPEP therapy combines the positive effects of PEP therapy with vibrations or oscillations and therefore has a two fold effect in airway clearance.[1]
