Best Practice in Respiratory Therapy
Rely on your clinical assessment. The team at Resolve Healthcare have years of experience working in acute medical, emergency, aged care and paediatric facilities. Our experience has shown that many patients in need of respiratory therapy have missed out on Bubble PEP treatments because of concerns regarding their ability to understand the instruction to blow into the water, and the associated risk of aspiration. Thanks to its unique, patented design, therapists can now safely clinically assess a patient’s suitability for Hydrapep at any time – particularly useful in emergency, acute medical and aged care settings, where a patient’s cognitive level may be unknown, or vary from day to day.
Award-Winning Design
Unsure whether your patient can use Hydrapep safely? Simply add 1-2cm water to Hydrapep, and twist the mouthpiece to align the outlet holes in the mouthpiece and tubing, before instructing your patient to blow bubbles in the water. In the event that your patient attempts to suck rather than blow, the outlet prevents the necessary pressure differential to draw water up the tubing and into the mouth.
Meanwhile, it is still easy to create bubbles in the shallow water – providing vital visual, aural and tactile feedback for reinforcement and improved understanding of the correct way to use Hydrapep. When you’re satisfied that your patient has understood your instructions and can continue to use Hydrapep safely, simply twist the mouthpiece again so that the holes are no longer aligned, and fill Hydrapep with water to the desired level to commence treatment.
