Description Shaker Classic: Respiratory Incentive (Ref. SHAKERCI)

The Shaker Classic is therefore an effective and very easy-to-use respiratory device that favors the mobilization and increased expectoration of mucus from the airways.

The " Shaker " is a high-frequency oscillation unit, which means that when exhaling orally through the Shaker, it is capable of generating vibratory effects associated with positive expiratory pressure (PEP). This generates the mobilization and release of pulmonary secretions (mucus) favoring their elimination.

Respiratory therapy is essential in the treatment of patients with chronic symptoms and involvement of the respiratory system , who have difficulty expectorating retained secretions , which can become a major problem, since it increases the rate of bronchial and pulmonary infections.

The Shaker Classic is a device that bases its functionality on 2 aspects that have proven effective in removing mucus and in the release and functionality of the airways:

High Frequency Oscillation that gives rise to a Change in the rheological properties of the mucus with a decrease in its viscoelasticity, and Shearing Actions of the air-mucus interface that is an important factor in the increase in secretion clearance.

Positive Expiratory Pressure (PEP). This increased pressure transmitted to the airways prevents them from collapsing early during expiration; Adding this effect to the prolongation of expiration, it also appears to be capable of mobilizing mucus proximally.

Indications

- Asthma.

- COPD.

- Emphysema.

- Bronchitis or cough of pulmonary origin.

What is respiratory physiotherapy

Respiratory therapy is essential in the treatment of patients with chronic symptoms and involvement of the respiratory system , who have difficulty expectorating retained secretions , which can become a major problem, since it increases the rate of bronchial and pulmonary infections.

Over the past 40 years, understanding of airway clearance mechanisms, both under normal and pathological conditions, has improved significantly. Mucus hypersecretion that is not expectorated has been shown to predispose to bronchial and/or pulmonary infections, and maneuvers to reduce airway mucus result in improved ventilation and clinical status.

There are several possibilities within physical therapy that aims to remove mucus from the airways. Among them, high-frequency oscillation devices for oral use stand out, a category in which the Shaker Classic is included.
