The use of a modified, oscillating positive expiratory pressure device reduced fever and length of hospital stay in patients after thoracic and upper abdominal surgery: a randomised trial Xiang-yu Zhang, Qixing Wang, Shouqin Zhang, Weilin Tan, Zheng Wang, Jue Li Journal of Physiotherapy Volume 61, Issue 1, Pages 16-20 (January 2015) DOI: 10.1016/j.jphys.2014.11.013 Copyright © 2014 Terms and Conditions

Figure 1 The oscillating PEP device was modified by the addition of a flexible adaptor inserted between the oscillating valve and the mouthpiece. This was done so that the participants could use it at the required angle while in any body position and without any uncomfortable sensation of dental vibration.
