ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a device called the positive expiratory pressure (PEP-device) to see if it can help treat a condition known as swimming-induced pulmonary edema (SIPE). SIPE occurs when fluid builds up in the lungs after swimming, causing symptoms like shortness of breath. The trial aims to find out if using the PEP-device is more effective than letting patients recover on their own when they are not experiencing low oxygen levels.

To participate in the trial, you must be at least 18 years old and have been diagnosed with SIPE that requires immediate treatment, but your oxygen levels should be 92% or higher. If you're interested and meet these criteria, you could be part of this important research. Participants will use the PEP-device and will be monitored to see how well it works. This trial is currently recruiting, and it welcomes individuals of all genders within the specified age range.
