Airway 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 کاملPhysiotherapy and airway clearance techniques and devices.
The focus of this talk is on the use of airway clearance techniques to assist in the removal of secretions from the lungs with particular emphasizes on their use in the NICU and PICU setting. Until the early 1990’s the term, ‘‘Chest Physiotherapy’’ was synonymous with the terms, ‘‘airway clearance techniques, or postural drainage and percussion’’ with the latter being the traditional method of ...
متن کاملAirway clearance: physiology, pharmacology, techniques, and practice.
Clinicians and their patients are troubled by respiratory secretions, and standard practice calls for efforts to clear secretions from the lungs. On one hand, mucus production and cough are important for airway defense and protection of the lower respiratory tract against inhaled irritations. On the other hand, excessive mucus obstructs airways and excessive cough has been associated with a num...
متن کاملNonpharmacologic airway clearance techniques in hospitalized patients: a systematic review.
Nonpharmacologic airway clearance techniques are used to reduce the sequelae of obstructive secretions. We systematically reviewed comparative studies of nonpharmacologic interventions that health professionals can employ to achieve mucus clearance in hospitalized or postoperative patients without cystic fibrosis, over the age of 12 months. We searched MEDLINE and other databases from 1990 to 2...
متن کاملAirway 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...
