AirPhysio for COPD - Patient Guide
For people with COPD, emphysema or chronic bronchitis.
What It Is
COPD is long-term narrowing of the airways, often with a mucus-filled, productive cough and breathlessness that can flare up.
How Airphysio Can Help
AirPhysio loosens and moves mucus and helps open your airways as a drug-free daily routine alongside your inhalers and any pulmonary rehabilitation.
What We Know
- A real-world matched cohort of 810 COPD patients showed lower 30-day exacerbation and hospitalisation rates with an OPEP device versus standard care (Burudpakdee, 2017).
- Three to four weeks of OPEP improved MRI-measured ventilation, dyspnoea and 6-minute-walk distance in COPD with chronic sputum (Svenningsen, 2015).
- Best suited to COPD with a mucus-producing cough - the Low Lung Capacity version suits weaker lungs.
Who It Is For
People with COPD and chronic mucus.
