Intermittent positive-pressure breathing

Postgraduate Medicine, 1976
There are relatively few valid indications for the use of intermittent positive-pressure breathing (IPPB). It is of limited or no value as prophylaxis of postoperative pulmonary problems (pneumonia, atelectasis) or as a means of delivering aerosol medications or treating stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. In these situations, IPPB has few if

Methods of Intermittent Positive Pressure Breathing

Chest, 1980
Inspiratory capacity (IC) was evaluated in 60 patients during the following four respiratory maneuvers: (1) coached unassisted inspiration; (2) inspiratory positive-pressure breathing (IPPB) at 15 cm H2O with the patient passively inspiring; (3) IPPB at 15 cm H2O with the patient coached to actively inspire; and (4) IPPB at a peak pressure adjusted ...

Postoperative intermittent positive pressure breathing versus physiotherapy

The American Journal of Surgery, 1980
Seventeen patients admitted to the hospital to undergo elective upper abdominal surgery were randomly assigned to one of the two treatment groups: intermittent positive pressure breathing or physiotherapy. Postoperative pulmonary care in the two groups differed only with regard to administration of intermittent positive pressure breathing and chest ...

Hypoxemia and Hypocarbia Following Intermittent Positive-Pressure Breathing

Anesthesia & Analgesia, 1976
The authors determined the effects of short-term, vigorous intermittent positive-pressure breathing (IPPB) on arterial blood O2 tension (Pao2) in 10 unmedicated preoperative adult patients (ASA class I). Arterial blood was analyzed before and 0.5, 5, 15, and 40 minutes after 12 minutes of IPPB with nebulized 0.9% HaCl and room air.

ROLE OF INTERMITTENT POSITIVE PRESSURE BREATHING POSTOPERATIVELY

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1958
The frequency of pulmonary complications after surgery has been such as to indicate strongly the need of prophylactic measures, especially against postoperative atelectasis. Among etiological factors to be watched for are narcotics that suppress the cough reflex, dehydration, prolonged immobilization, and constricting dressings.

Intermittent Positive Pressure Breathing A Dying Art?

Physiotherapy, 1992
Summary Intermittent positive pressure breathing (IPPB) has been used as an adjunct to chest physiotherapy for many years. There have been many conflicting studies of IPPB on patients, but the studies of the physiological effects have demonstrated three clear benefits during treatment: an increase in ventilation, an improvement in arterial blood ...

Lung Volume and Blood Oxygenation After Intermittent Positive Pressure Breathing

Archives of Surgery, 1979
Functional residual capacity (FRC) was measured in 12 postoperative patients and in one preoperative patient before and after they received intermittent positive pressure breathing (IPPB) with room air for ten minutes at a peak delivered pressure of 15 cm H2O. Ten patients had a normal or low pretreatment FRC.
