blow bottle positive expiratory pressure
acapella
Water was poured into a 1 L plastic container until it reached a 10 cm height. A 30 cm long tube was put into the water in the bottle, 8 cm deep. The participants were instructed to close their mouths around the tubing in the apparatus for three seconds to produce bubbles, do this for a total of 10 breaths, perform two huffs, then cough. Such exhalations were conducted in two sets of ten, with a five-minute pause in between. For each subject, a fresh, disposable tube and bottle were utilized
Make sure the frequency adjustment dial has been rotated counterclockwise to the lowest frequency-resistance setting before using the Acapella for the first time. On a chair, adopt a straight stance. maintaining a straight back and relaxing your elbows on a table. Now gradually tilt your head upward to maintain the opening of your upper airways. Inhale more deeply than you frequently do. Make sure your lips are encircling the mouthpiece, then blow into the device with a strong expiration. You should ideally blow out roughly twice as quickly as usual. For around ten breaths. Make careful to expel to clear the secretions from the airways after the final try. You can even conduct 2 to 3 "huffs" to improve secretion elimination when necessary. It should be noted that while using the device, you must be capable of exhale for a minimum of three to four seconds.
