Respiratory treatments (chest physiotherapy, intermittent positive pressure breathing inhalers, or nebulizer treatments).

Intermittent positive pressure breathing (Physiotherapy)

Intermittent positive pressure breathing (IPPB) is a respiratory therapy treatment for people who are hypoventilating.

Intermittent positive pressure breathing (IPPB)Physiotherapy has long been used in the intensive care setting in non-intubated patients.

Acetylcysteine solution can be inhaled directly from the nebulizer, or with a face mask, mouth piece, tent, or intermittent positive pressure breathing (IPPB) machine.

One kind of ventilator is called an intermittent positive pressure breathing unit; it puts compressed gas into the lungs until a preset pressure is reached, then allows passive exhalation through a valve.
