Effect of chest physiotherapy on oxygen saturation in patients with cystic fibrosis.
Decreasing arterial oxygen saturation has been reported in patients with cystic fibrosis during postural drainage when this was combined with other manoeuvres, which did not, however, include thoracic expansion exercises or pauses for relaxation and breathing control.

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.

متن کاملOxygen saturation in cystic fibrosis.
The availability of non-invasive oxygen saturation (SaO2) measurement could prove to be a useful tool for following up the progress of patients with cystic fibrosis. The present study was undertaken to compare its use with other routine measurements in the clinic. A total of 100 patients with cystic fibrosis were compared with 50 patients with stable asthma. The children were aged between 5 and...
متن کاملCystic fibrosis: physical exercise versus chest physiotherapy.
Twelve children with cystic fibrosis were admitted to a paediatric rehabilitation hospital for 17 days to take part in a training programme of vigorous physical exercise and sport. The daily inhalation-physiotherapy routine was stopped. Ventilatory status was assessed by spirometry and measurement of lung volumes one day before admission, one day after the end of the hospital stay, and 8 weeks ...
متن کاملAdherence to chest physiotherapy in adults with cystic fibrosis.
Chest physiotherapy (CP) is seen as a cornerstone of Cystic Fibrosis (CF) treatment. However, previous studies have suggested that adherence to CP is low. This study of adults with CF (N = 563) investigated CP adherence and associated factors. Only 29.5 per cent reported undertaking daily CP. Predictors of adherence included problems with fitting CP into lifestyle, a perception that CP does not...
