The Retec breathing assistor, with its gluidic valve, is an interesting method of providing assisted positive pressure inspiration, a resistive load to expiration and a capability for the administration of drugs by nebuliser. It requires some co-operation but very little training by patients, and is easily cleaned and maintained.
