3-in-1 Therapy1

Oscillation and Lung Expansion therapy (OLE) has shown to deliver positive clinical outcomes and potential economic savings in the acute care setting.1

Deliver timely, clinically studied Oscillation and Lung Expansion (OLE) therapy in just ten minutes with the Volara System from Baxter.

The system uses alternating cycles of Continuous Positive Expiratory Pressure (CPEP) and Continuous High Frequency Oscillation (CHFO), combined with aerosol delivery, to help your patients get more value from their OLE therapy.

CPEP

Continuous Positive Expiratory Pressure treats and helps prevent pulmonary atelectasis by combining continuous positive pressure with aerosol medication, to help expand and hold the airways open.

CHFO

Continuous High Frequency Oscillation, a pneumatic form of chest therapy, delivers continuous pulses of positive pressure combined with aerosol medication to mobilize and treat retained secretions.

Nebulizer

Integrated with CPEP and CHFO, medication is delivered during therapy to help loosen secretions.

Clinically Proven Therapy for Patients Hospital-Wide1,2

Tested and proven in acute care settings, OLE therapy has been shown to provide positive clinical outcomes.

A 419-patient, two-phase multicenter study1 showed that pulmonary treatment with OLE therapy, along with standard respiratory therapy, reduced the rate of certain PPCs in high-risk surgical patients who underwent thoracic, upper abdominal or aortic open surgical procedures.
