Lung re-expansion device and visualization of intrapulmonary pressure level.

Pulmonary re-expansion device.

invention patent No. NC2018/0010005, Colombia (granted); invention patent WO/2020/058849, WIPO (applied for).

the lung re-expansion device consists of a T-body with a one-way valve, an occlusion/flow release system and a pressure release valve for use in patients requiring lung expansion techniques.

The technology makes it possible to perform a maneuver that transiently increases alveolar pressure above normal ventilation and maintains that pressure beyond the normal time.

medicine / respiratory therapy / respiratory exercises.

improves lung volume increase/use in patients with and without tracheostomy/affordable cost.

It allows increasing lung volume to maximum capacity, prolonging it over time and regulating the intrapulmonary pressure level.
It allows to increase the alveolar pressure above normal ventilation and to maintain that pressure beyond the normal time.
Prevents and reduces the levels of atelectasis (lung collapse).
Increased air redistribution through the alveolar units.
