IPPB (Intermittent positive pressure treatment of

IPPB (Intermittent Positive Pressure Breathing) treatment is commonly used for patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). IPPB is a form of respiratory therapy that provides short-term mechanical ventilation to assist patients in breathing more deeply and improving lung function. It helps to deliver medication, reduce the work of breathing, and expand collapsed alveoli.
