Airway Clearance for Chronic Obstructive<br />
Pulmonary Disease (COPD)<br />
Pre OPEP<br />
Post OPEP<br />
A recent study of COPD patients showed use of the Aerobika<br />
Oscillating PEP Therapy System for just 4 weeks created noticeable<br />
improvement in patients 1<br />
• Reduced Dyspnea<br />
• Increased gas distribution to previously unventilated areas<br />
• Reduced Hyperinflation (gas trapping)<br />

What is active exhalation?<br />
Active exhalation can best be<br />
described as the type of effort required<br />
to starting blowing up a balloon —<br />
but is not as forceful as blowing out<br />
candles. The Aerobika Oscillating<br />
PEP device will offer resistance to your<br />
exhaled breath meaning that you will<br />
need to exhale with more energy than<br />
you would normally.<br />
What is a ‘huff cough’?<br />
A ‘huff cough’ will help move mucus up<br />
and out of your lungs. Just like when<br />
you use your breath to create fog on a<br />
mirror, you would take a short, shallow<br />
breath and exhale forcefully with your<br />
mouth in an ‘O’ shape. Your healthcare<br />
professional will help you with proper<br />
technique.<br />
