Figure Lengend Snippet: Oscillatory pressure train developed by exhaling into an OPEP device; the baseline positive pressure stents the large airways whilst the oscillations mobilize the excessive mucus secretions lining the airways

Article Snippet: The first OPEP combined with PAP system, based on the Aerobika* OPEP device used in series with the VersaPAP* attachment (Trudell Medical International/Monaghan Medical Corp., (Fig. )), creates airway expansion on inhalation, allowing for the patient to take in a larger volume breath.
