Face mask physiotherapy in cystic fibrosis.

چکیده
The use of the 'PEP' mask with forced expiratory coughing was compared with conventional physiotherapy over a one month period. No difference was shown in symptom scores, sputum production, or simple lung function tests. The mask was well accepted and allowed independent treatment by older patients.

Positive Expiratory Pressure (PEP) versus Conventional Chest Physiotherapy in Pediatric Patients with Acute Exacerbation of Cystic Fibrosis
Background Pulmonary involvement is the main cause of mortality in cystic fibrosis (CF). Airway clearance techniques are non-pharmacological complement options for CF patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the short-term outcome of airway cleaning treatment in patients with cystic fibrosis in a children's hospital. Materials and Methods This clinical trial study conducted on 40 CF pati...
متن کاملEffects of flutter and PEP mask physiotherapy on symptoms and lung function in children with cystic fibrosis.
Recently, the flutter was introduced as a new device to improve sputum expectoration. Preliminary data suggested a significant improvement in expectoration and lung function during flutter treatment in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). The aim of the present study was to compare the effects of the flutter and the positive expiratory pressure (PEP) mask on symptoms and lung function in childre...
متن کاملChest physiotherapy in hospitalized patients with cystic fibrosis: a study of lung function effects and sputum production.
In order to evaluate the short-term lung function effects of high-pressure positive expiratory pressure (PEP)-mask physiotherapy (PT) in relation to PT-assisted sputum production, we studied 18 patients with cystic fibrosis (CF), hospitalized for a pulmonary exacerbation. Lung functions were measured before (a) and after PT (b) on day one (1), five (2), ten (3) and fifteen (4). Five functions i...
متن کاملChest physiotherapy with positive airway pressure: a pilot study of short-term effects on sputum clearance in patients with cystic fibrosis and severe airway obstruction.
BACKGROUND The periodic administration of positive airway pressure combined with directed cough could aid mucus clearance in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) and severe airway obstruction. OBJECTIVE To compare the short-term effect of positive expiratory pressure (PEP) physiotherapy via mask (mask PEP), continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), and noninvasive positive-pressure ventilatio...
متن کاملMucus clearance with three chest physiotherapy regimes in cystic fibrosis: a comparison between postural drainage, PEP and physical exercise.
The effects of three different regimes of chest physiotherapy were compared in this cross-over study. Mucus clearance was monitored in nine clinically stable cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. The patients performed: 1) postural drainage with thoracic expansion exercises + forced expiration technique (FET) in the left decubitus position; 2) positive expiratory pressure (PEP)-mask breathing + FET; a...
