Today, respiratory therapists have a plethora of devices to choose from; but while their size, complexity, and the way they perform their vital treatments may vary, they all help to mobilize secretions and clear the airway and lungs. 0000029883 00000 n IPV is a pneumatic airway clearance device that combines mist with high flow pressurized jets of air to the airway at a rate of 100 to 300 cycles per minute via a mouthpiece, artificial airway, or placed inline a ventilator circuit. Metaneb delivers high-frequency oscillatory breaths during both inspiration and expiration. The MetaNeb System is indicated for mobilization of secretions, lung expansion therapy, the treatment and prevention of pulmonary atelectasis, and also has the ability to provide supplemental oxygen when used with compressed oxygen. The device was put to the test in a study performed at the Robarts Research Institute, Western University, London, Ontario, and researchers found that the study subjects had improvements in increased mucus clearance, decreased cough frequency and breathlessness, and enhanced exercise tolerance. The main difference between the two modalities lies within the Venturi. In the event of having a patient who presents with any of the above-mentioned situations along with having a traumatic injury such as broken ribs, chest tubes, or low tolerance for other modalities, two modalities present themselves as an option; one being IPV.
