Abstract

A method of providing airway clearance therapy to a patient includes receiving an expiratory airstream from the patient in a chamber, causing a back pressure to be created in the chamber (10) in response to receiving the expiratory airstream, causing a one-way valve, such as a magnetic duckbill valve (26), located downstream of the chamber to open only in response to the back pressure being at least equal to a certain predetermined level, causing a vibratory effect to be generated downstream of the one-way valve, for example using a vibratory ball check valve (32), when the one-way valve is open and in response to the expiratory air-stream passing therethrough, and delivering a percussive sensation to the patient through the chamber responsive to the vibratory effect.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the treatment of lung diseases such as Cystic Fibrosis, in which mucus secretions accumulate in the lungs, and in particular to a vibrating positive expiratory pressure (PEP) device for use in Clear this secretion from the lungs. Background technique [0002] A variety of respiratory diseases in which patients suffer from the accumulation of large amounts of mucus in the lungs are known. One such respiratory disease is cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis is an inherited, debilitating disease in which defective genes cause damaged mucocilia to move in the lungs, causing chronic lung obstruction, inflammation and infection. So for people suffering from this disease, it is of the utmost importance to clear their windpipe, and these people spend a lot of time trying to do this. [0003] Various tracheal clearing techniques are known. These techniques include manual chest physical therapy (CPT), postural drainage, breathing...
