a respiratory therapist gave this to me when I was in the hospital for 6 days last week and OMG it works great ! it's breaking up the phelgm big time and my cough is now productive ! coughing up all that toxic phelghm now. my RT told me to use it 10-12x after every breathing treatments ! works great $ 25 on e bay !
I had spinal surgery March 15th I was hit by a F350 while walking. Surgeons went in through my neck to remove 2 broken vertebraes and fussed together my 4th and 5th disk. They give me this device to use I can only imagine or think because of the blood in airways after surgery. I'm unsure what the device costs because insurance paid for it. 25.00 seems like a great deal the device is effective and works well.
What Number setting should i use on the aerobika machine with the nebulizer machine or does it not matter since im using the breathe actuate mode on my nebulizer machine.

I never seem to have any phflem. the doctors do not seem concerned. i am very severe stage 4 for eleven years now. I only see the pulm doc every six months and have not asked about his. Nor have i read when anyone else seems to have no mucus. Please let know what your thoughts are . thank you
Hi Valerie, Unfortunately we cannot comment as individual cases of COPD vary so greatly. We would recommend talking to a specialist about your symptoms.
Hi Karen, thank you for your question. We recommend that you inhale through the device taking a deeper breath than normal, but do not totally fill your lungs. Please let us know if you have any other questions!
@@TrudellMedical is there a reason that inhaling through the device gives better results? I have tried both ways and there seems to be no difference. Is there any mechanical or physical reason that your advice is to breath in through the device? The Aerobika has been a life changer for me, but I do want to understand this. Thanks.
@@roddiculousguitar Thank you for your question and the wonderful feedback! We recommend inhaling through the device as most patients find this easier. However, it is possible to do it either way, whichever is more comfortable and works better for you.
Thank you for your question. Yes, Milton tablets can be used to clean the Aerobika* device. Please follow the manufacturer's instructions for how to use/dilute the Milton tablets.
my son was in a medical facility for a long time and used this device. He was to take a deep breath, put his mouth over the device and blow out. not according to instructions. i called their attention to this but no change. my sister is in a different facility and given the same instructions. What is correct and why do they do it incorrectly?
Hi Peggy, Thank you for your question. As we are not familiar with individual cases, it is always best to use the Aerobika* device as prescribed by your healthcare professional. Here is a link to our instructions for use if you wish to look it over again or bring it in to discuss with your son's / sister's doctor. www.trudellmed.com/sites/trudellmed.com/files/pdf/consumer/opep_ifu.pdf Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Thanks for the question! Holding your breath helps to expand/open up your airways and dissipate air throughout your lungs. Let us know if you have any more questions!

That would depend on how bad your symptoms are. If you have Cystic Fibrosis, I doubt that it could take the place of a vest. But, again, it would be attributed to how bad your secretion issue is.

Where do you put the albuterol sulfate inhaler solution in the bit aerobica where do you put the brutalol sulfate solution in the a e r o b i k a i need to know where to put it can you show me a picture of a video
medicines like those must be nebulized by using a "nebulizer" machine -it's a different device and they can be used in tandem if desired
Pretty simple, he can watch the video. The Doctor said this would help clear phlegm. It also shows nebulizer that need to give him with medicine.
Does this give benefits if you don't have any issues
do you need the nebulizer or can you just use the had device
Hi Andrew. The Aerobika* device can be used with or without a nebulizer. You can learn more here: www.trudellmed.com/products/aerobika-opep-device

I'm the same, next to no, phlegm hardly cough too. Just am going thru first exacerbation.
I'd get a new doctor. Six months? That's ridiculous
Is it effective in severe asthma ?
Thanks a lot, Christopher.
does your inhalation have to be through the device or can you inhale through your nose and exhale through the device?
