Hello everyone. I have seen an advert for the new air Physio. I wondered if anyone has tried it yet before I purchase one. ? It is hand held and you blow into it, it is supposed to clear your lungs.

Hi Courtney - Marvellous device. I was admitted to hospital a few weeks ago, and was required to provide sample sputum. I have never found it easy to produce this, One of the doctor s scoffed at the device insisting that exercise was the key to giving samples. At the time, I was hooked up to oxygen and unable to do any meaningful physical activities. So, I continued to use the Air Physio and produced enough sputum over 3 days for successful culture growth and analysis. In short order I got the right drugs to treat an underlying infection, and after a week's course, felt better than anytime in the last 12 months. Perhaps, it should be used along with a nebuliser, (using medical grade saline) . Together, the 2 devices have worked for me and, although expensive, I consider it money well spent. As good as the NHS is, it can be blind to new technology. Good luck if you decide to buy one.

I have a Revitive Aerosure which I believe is similar, I have recently got over a chest infection, but it left me with thick congestion in my lungs, I spoke to a respiratory physio who recommended PEP machines and a herbal NaC, she also said that fluids are your friend, I only started it a day ago, so no conclusive feedback yet. I read up about clearing the lungs with PEP it said do it 10 inhalations and exhale then huff cough.
