Hey Guys I just had a quick question.. I am in the hospital and I was having trouble with some mucus plugs. Yesterday they started me on the IPV machine with hypertonic saline.. It seems like it helped though I call the machine satan on stick because it feels like the same way it felt when I was intubated..

Do any of you have the IPV machine at home.. To me it was way more effective then anything.. I am currently using the new encourage system and the old Vest.. not the 104 version...

So far I like the older version of the vest better...but as much I hate IPV machine I get the most airway clearance out of it

Anyone have input

Jennifer,
Sorry that you're in the hospital... :-( I hope you start feeling better. I haven't had personal use of the IPV, though we use it with intubated kids. I've seen good results though it ticks kids off. Are you on dnase, hts, atrovent and albuterol? Sometimes I find isolated hand therapy works for specific areas that you think are stuck with mucous. Maybe they can do hand CPT on tough lobes??

Good luck..

Hi!
Sorry to hear you are in the hosp..I hope you feel better! I've wondered if any Cfers had the machine at home too. when I was in the hospital, I used it and for me it was much more affective than the vest. I havent heard of anyone having it at home
