    Journal: Ter Arkh; 1997; 69(3):42-5. PubMed ID: 9229828.
    Abstract:
    The influence of PEEP breathing has been studied in 43 patients with exacerbation of bronchial asthma (BA) during 20 min in resistance of 5, 7 or 9 sm. Sputum expectoration and inspiration were found improved after PEEP breathing. Moreover, in some patients mild BA attacks relieved. Lung hyperinflation, bronchial obstruction reduced. A positive effect was observed in moderate asthma in PEEP breathing of 7 and 9 sm more frequently. This, PEEP breathing can be applied in the treatment of BA.
