Guest guest Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 The pep valve, or pep breathing does better in cases where the manual percussion is not doing very well. , for instance, was very unproductive with manual percussion. They started him on PEP and it did better. What it does is keep the smaller airways from collapsing too soon to expel mucus. now uses a flutter valve that seems to give him results as good as the vest gave him. Dori Ownbey...
