Taking MEP without a Pressure Meter
Brief tutorial | No certificates or CEUs
Summary
This ~15-minute tutorial introduces SLPs to taking a patient's MEP (Maximal Expiratory Pressure) without the use of a respiratory pressure meter. You'll learn about the limitations of using this method, as well as how to use a pressure threshold expiratory device to approximate your patient's MEP in order to determine their training load for EMST.
