The eects of TRUE-IPV® therapy occur with or without the cooperation of the patient.
TRUE-IPV® provides a percussive gas exchange within the respiratory bronchioles with
associated alveolar recruitment maintaining a minimal mean intrathoracic expiratory
pressure increase for peripheral lung stabilization. This allows for mechanical ventilation
to provide for peripheral lung recruitment while minimizing the potential for induced
barotrauma.
