Article Synopsis
- - This study examined the EzPAP Positive Airway Pressure System, a noninvasive device designed to help expand the lungs and improve gas exchange, particularly among spontaneously breathing patients with and without tracheostomy.
- - Conducted at a university hospital, the study found that while gas exchange did not significantly change in most patients after PEP, those with tracheostomy showed temporary improvement immediately after treatment, although it did not hold after two hours.
- - Ultimately, the study concluded that while lung expansion improved radiological scores within a week, the PEP therapy did not significantly alleviate respiratory distress in the subjects.
