High-frequency chest wall compression therapy in neurologically impaired children.
BACKGROUND Children with neurological impairment often suffer from insufficient airway secretion clearance, which substantially increases their respiratory morbidity. The goal of the study was to assess the clinical feasibility of high-frequency chest wall compression (HFCWC) therapy in neurologically impaired children with respiratory symptoms. METHODS This was a single-center, investigator ...
متن کاملAcute hypoxemia in a child with neurologic impairment associated with high-frequency chest-wall compression.
An 11-year-old child with cerebral palsy required hospital admission for respiratory distress following administration of high-frequency chest wall compression (HFCWC). The child had severe neurologic impairment and an ineffective cough effort. HFCWC is effective in treating cystic fibrosis, but its use has not been widely studied in other diagnoses. Although highly effective in mobilizing mucu...
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...
متن کاملNeurologically impaired children with gastroesophageal reflux.
First of all, ‘GOR’ should be distinguished from ‘GOR disease’ or ‘pathological GOR’. ‘GOR’ usually refers to an episode of reflux of the gastric contents into the oesophagus. This is a normal phenomenon at all ages. Classifying it as pathological GOR or GOR disease is dependent on the severity as defined by various objective criteria. I infer from the article that the authors implicitly refer ...
متن کاملHigh-frequency chest-wall compression, patient safety, and the n-of-1 construct.
In this issue of RESPIRATORY CARE, Allan and colleagues report on the safety of high-frequency chest-wall compression (HFCWC, with The Vest, Hill-Rom, St Paul, Minnesota) in the 48 hours following thoracic surgery.1 The study is long overdue and is the first examination of the general safety and hemodynamic consequences of HFCWC in a patient population that may be predisposed to hemodynamic com...
