Hi,
I have a question regarding PEP (positive expiratory pressure) devices. You
know... these small devices in which the patients has to blow to increase
the pressure in the lung to prevent atelectasis and to mobilize
secretions...
How many times does the patient have to do this? Five times an hour I have
always learned. What do you people think?
