چکیده
Airway clearance techniques (ACT) contribute to a high burden of care for young people with Cystic Fibrosis. Adherence ACT, along other medications is known improve outcomes. Monitoring objective adherence challenging no available devices currently on the market. Playphysio® presents an opportunity make ACT more engaging user whilst simultaneously providing insight clinicians into behaviour their patients. This study will assess impact gamification in pwCFand its effect treatment patients and families. A single centre RCT open label extension. Target n = 60 (aged 6–11 years), duration 112 days. Participants are provided Physiopal® (sensor), that detects oscillations from users adjunct paired smart device, preloaded app. data be collected fora 4-week period initially games available.

Airway clearance in cystic fibrosis.
Airway clearance is considered an integral component of standard therapy for cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. Although the pathophysiology of CF has not been conclusively delineated, most of the theories revolve around the development of viscous airway secretions.1–4 These secretions are thought to be poorly cleared from the lung, leading to airway obstruction and infection with Staphylococcus au...
متن کاملCYSTIC FIBROSIS Airway remodelling in children with cystic fibrosis
Background: The relationship between airway structural changes and inflammation is unclear in early cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease. A study was undertaken to determine changes in airway remodelling in children with CF compared with appropriate disease and healthy controls. Methods: Bronchoalveolar lavage and endobronchial biopsy were performed in a cross-sectional study of 43 children with C...
متن کاملAirway clearance techniques in cystic fibrosis.
Whilst the trials quoted in the Cochrane reviews [5–7] provide various degrees of quality of evidence, the key information that is missing from these studies is an understanding of the physiological principles by which these different techniques work. Physiologically, the techniques need to do the following. 1) Increase absolute peak expiratory flow (PEF) to move secretions towards the orophary...
متن کاملCystic fibrosis pulmonary guidelines: airway clearance therapies.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease characterized by dehydration of airway surface liquid and impaired mucociliary clearance. As a result, there is difficulty clearing pathogens from the lung, and patients experience chronic pulmonary infections and inflammation. Clearance of airway secretions has been a primary therapy for those with CF, and a variety of airway clearance therapies (ACTs)...
