PEP stands for Positive Expiratory Pressure. Bubble PEP is a treatment to help individuals who have a build up of phlegm (secretions) in their lungs. Bubble PEP can be used by individuals who have difficulty clearing secretions. Children have to be at least 3 years old in order to understand the principles of Bubble PEP and therefore use it. During treatment, you will be encouraged to blow big bubbles through water.
Our emergency departments are currently extremely busy, and you may face a long wait to be seen. More information is available on alternative services.
