GO2 PEEP Study: The Use of a Bidirectional Oxygenation Valve in the Prevention and Management of Postoperative Atelectasis
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Incentive spirometer and GO2 Mouthpiece for Postoperative Atelectasis. Completed, enrolled 20 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study compares a novel breathing device, called the GO2 Mouthpiece, to the standard breathing tool called the incentive spirometer, thus improving respiratory dynamics of the postoperative patient.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The incentive spirometer is a device that measures how deeply a person can inhale (breathe in). It helps with taking slow, deep breaths to expand and fill the lungs with air, which helps prevent lung problems, such as pneumonia. The incentive spirometer is made up of a breathing tube, an air chamber, and an indicator to help users control their breathing.
The GO2 Mouthpiece is a simple, comfortable, and straightforward silicone rubber-made, bidirectional oxygenation mouthpiece that effectively delivers PEEP with every breath.
