High frequency chest wall oscillation in cystic fibrosis.
Airway clearance is considered an integral component of the management of cystic fibrosis (CF).RecentCFpulmonaryguidelines made recommendations using the US Prentative Service task Force (USPSTF) grading scheme (a system which provides a mechanism toweigh the quality of evidence and the potential harms and benefits) on airway clearance. 2 These guidelines recommended thatairwayclearanceshouldbe...
متن کاملShort-term comparative study of high frequency chest wall oscillation and European airway clearance techniques in patients with cystic fibrosis
BACKGROUND High frequency chest wall oscillation (HFCWO) is standard treatment for airway clearance in the USA and has recently been introduced in the UK and Europe. There is little published research comparing HFCWO with airway clearance techniques (ACTs) frequently used in the UK and Europe. The aim of this study was to compare the short-term effects of HFCWO with usual ACTs in patients with ...
متن کاملPhysiologic evidence for high-frequency chest wall oscillation and positive expiratory pressure breathing in hospitalized subjects with cystic fibrosis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE This investigation identified ventilation distribution, gas mixing, lung function, and arterial blood oxyhemoglobin saturation (SpO2) physiologic responses to 2 independent airway clearance treatments, high-frequency chest wall oscillation (HFCWO) and low positive expiratory pressure (PEP) breathing, for subjects who had cystic fibrosis (CF) and who were hospitalized duri...
متن کاملLong-term multicentre randomised controlled study of high frequency chest wall oscillation versus positive expiratory pressure mask in cystic fibrosis.
BACKGROUND Positive expiratory pressure (PEP) is the most commonly used method of airway clearance (AC) in Canada for patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) whereas, in some countries, high frequency chest wall oscillation (HFCWO) is the preferred form of AC. There have been no long-term studies comparing the efficacy of HFCWO and PEP in the CF population. OBJECTIVES To determine the long-term ef...
متن کاملComparison of settings used for high-frequency chest-wall compression in cystic fibrosis.
BACKGROUND Cystic fibrosis (CF) patients commonly use a high-frequency chest-wall compression (HFCWC) device for airway clearance that generates oscillatory flow with a sine-wave configuration. Typical HFCWC settings combine a lower Vest inflation pressure setting (eg, 5 on the Vest's arbitrary 1-10 scale for the setting that controls the background pressure of the inflatable vest) with mid-ran...
