Lung expansion methods that increase the transpulmonary pressure gradients by increasing alveolar pressure include which of the following?
I.incentive spirometry (IS)II.positive end-expiration pressure therapy
III.intermittent positive-pressure breathing (IPPB)IV.expiratory positive airway pressure (EPAP)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Positive end-expiration pressure therapy, intermittent positive-pressure breathing, and expiratory positive airway pressure all increase alveolar pressure, thereby increasing the transpulmonary pressure gradient.
