Positive expiratory pressure therapy or the PEP therapy is an airway clearance technique for patients that have Cystic Fibrosis. A positive pressure is generated in the airways by breathing out with a moderate force through a resistance, which helps to keep them open. This positive pressure allows airflow to get under the areas of mucus obstruction and move the mucus toward the larger airways.
