Figure 1 Experimental circuit utilized.
The IPV2-C machine (Percussionaire Corporation; Sagle, ID, Figure 2) was attached to the proximal end of the ETT. The IPV device was given a constant setting with a frequency of 230 cycles/minute, an I/E ratio of 1: 4, and an airway pressure of 30 cmH2O. The IPV was applied for 10-min each to group 1 and Group 2. IPV: Intrapulmonary percussive ventilation; ETT: Endotracheal tube.
