Oscillating Positive Expiratory Pressure on Respiratory Resistance in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease With a Small Amount of Secretion
This study aims to evaluate the acute effects of an oscillating positive expiratory pressure device (flutter) on airways resistance in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Randomized crossover study: 15 COPD outpatients from Asthma Lab-Royal Brompton Hospital underwent spirometry, impulse oscillometry (IOS) for respiratory resistance (R) and reactance (X), and fraction exh...
متن کاملA review investigating the flutter’s effects in people with bronchiectasis Flutter’s effect in pulmonary function and sputum clearance in bronchiectasis
bAcKGROUND: Bronchiectasis is characterised by the production and retention of large volumes of secretions. These secretions could cause recurrent infections, among other complications. Chest physiotherapy aims to assist in the clearance of airway secretions and may include the flutter device. The objectives of this review are to investigate the effects of the flutter in terms of pulmonary func...

OBJECTIVE To compare the short-term effects of postural drainage (PD), oscillating positive expiratory pressure (using the FLUTTER device), and expiration with the glottis open in the lateral posture (ELTGOL) on oxygen saturation, pulmonary function, and sputum production in patients with an acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis. DESIGN A prospective, randomized study. SETTING A clinical...
متن کاملArrhythmias in Patients With Pulmonary Hypertension; A Narrative Review of the Current Literature
Incidence and prognostic relevance of supraventricular arrhythmias were evaluated in nine studies. These studies investigated patients with different forms of pulmonary hypertension. Supraventricular arrhythmias were more often found in patients with group two pulmonary hypertension. Common findings in these patients were elevated right atrial pressure and diameters and reduced tricuspid annula...
متن کاملEltgol Acutelly Improves Airway Clearance and Reduces Static Pulmonary Volumes in Adult Cystic Fibrosis Patients
Chest physical therapy techniques are essential in order to reduce the frequency of recurrent pulmonary infections that progressively affect lung function in cystic fibrosis patients. Recently, ELTGOL (L'Expiration Lente Totale Glotte Ouverte en décubitus Latéral) emerged as an inexpensive and easy to perform therapeutic option. The aim of this study was to compare the acute effects of ELTGOL a...
