Theory A pause allows for “equalisation of ventilation” alters time constants and allows pressure within different lung units to equalise. Studies With multiple-breath nitrogen washout tests, a breath hold resulted in an increase in alveolar gas mixing and a decrease in inhomogeneity (Crawford 1989) M. McIlwaine 25 8/1/2019 INTERDEPENDENCE THEORY:- During inspiration, especially on a deep inspiration, expanding alveoli exert a traction force on adjacent less well expanded alveoli which they surround. It occurs owing to the elasticity of the surrounding interstitium (Mead 1970). CONFIRMED by clinical studies on anesthetised dogs. During normal breathing, collateral ventilation was the primary method of re-expanding collapsed alveoli and that interdependence could only be demonstrated when using high frequency oscillation of between 3-5Hz (Menkes 1972). COLLATERAL VENTILATION PORES OF KOHN First discovered in 1893, confirmed by electron microscope. Each alveoli has 50 pores, usually fluid filled. Opens with large pressure

  • Respiratory Syncytial Virus Bronchiolitis in Children DUSTIN K
    Respiratory Syncytial Virus Bronchiolitis in Children DUSTIN K. SMITH, DO; SAJEEWANE SEALES, MD, MPH; and CAROL BUDZIK, MD Naval Hospital Jacksonville, Jacksonville, Florida Bronchiolitis is a common lower respiratory tract infection in infants and young children, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most common cause of this infection. RSV is transmitted through contact with respiratory droplets either directly from an infected person or self-inoculation by contaminated secretions on surfaces. Patients with RSV bronchiolitis usually present with two to four days of upper respiratory tract symptoms such as fever, rhinorrhea, and congestion, followed by lower respiratory tract symptoms such as increasing cough, wheezing, and increased respira- tory effort. In 2014, the American Academy of Pediatrics updated its clinical practice guideline for diagnosis and man- agement of RSV bronchiolitis to minimize unnecessary diagnostic testing and interventions. Bronchiolitis remains a clinical diagnosis, and diagnostic testing is not routinely recommended. Treatment of RSV infection is mainly sup- portive, and modalities such as bronchodilators, epinephrine, corticosteroids, hypertonic saline, and antibiotics are generally not useful. Evidence supports using supplemental oxygen to maintain adequate oxygen saturation; however, continuous pulse oximetry is no longer required. The other mainstay of therapy is intravenous or nasogastric admin- istration of fluids for infants who cannot maintain their hydration status with oral fluid intake. Educating parents on reducing the risk of infection is one of the most important things a physician can do to help prevent RSV infection, especially early in life. Children at risk of severe lower respiratory tract infection should receive immunoprophy- laxis with palivizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody, in up to five monthly doses.

  • Chest Physiotherapy Page 1 of 10
    UTMB RESPIRATORY CARE SERVICES Policy 7.3.9 PROCEDURE - Chest Physiotherapy Page 1 of 10 Chest Physiotherapy Effective: 10/12/94 Revised: 04/05/18 Formulated: 11/78 Chest Physiotherapy Purpose To standardize the use of chest physiotherapy as a form of therapy using one or more techniques to optimize the effects of gravity and external manipulation of the thorax by postural drainage, percussion, vibration and cough. A mechanical percussor may also be used to transmit vibrations to lung tissues. Policy Respiratory Care Services provides skilled practitioners to administer chest physiotherapy to the patient according to physician’s orders. Accountability/Training • Chest Physiotherapy is administered by a Licensed Respiratory Care Practitioner trained in the procedure(s). • Training must be equivalent to the minimal entry level in the Respiratory Care Service with the understanding of age specific requirements of the patient population treated. Physician's A written order by a physician is required specifying: Order Frequency of therapy. Lung, lobes and segments to be drained. Any physical or physiological difficulties in positioning patient. Cough stimulation as necessary. Type of supplemental oxygen, and/or adjunct therapy to be used. Indications This therapy is indicated as an adjunct in any patient whose cough alone (voluntary or induced) cannot provide adequate lung clearance or the mucociliary escalator malfunctions. This is particularly true of patients with voluminous secretions, thick tenacious secretions, and patients with neuro- muscular disorders. Drainage positions should be specific for involved segments unless contraindicated or if modification is necessary. Drainage usually in conjunction with breathing exercises, techniques of percussion, vibration and/or suctioning must have physician's order.

  • Evaluation of an Alternative Chest Physiotherapy Method in Infants with Respiratory Syncytial Virus Bronchiolitis
    Evaluation of an Alternative Chest Physiotherapy Method in Infants With Respiratory Syncytial Virus Bronchiolitis Guy Postiaux PT, Jacques Louis MD, Henri C Labasse MD, Julien Gerroldt PT, Anne-Claire Kotik PT, Amandine Lemuhot PT, and Caroline Patte PT BACKGROUND: We proposed a new chest physiotherapy (CPT) secretion clearance method to treat respiratory syncytial virus bronchiolitis in infants. Our new CPT method consists of 15 pro- longed slow expirations, then 5 provoked cough maneuvers. METHODS: We randomized 20 infants (mean age 4.2 months) into 2 groups: 8 patients received 27 sessions of nebulization of hypertonic saline; 12 patients received 31 sessions of nebulization of hypertonic saline followed by our new CPT method. We used the Wang clinical severity scoring system (which assesses wheezing, respiratory rate, retractions, and general condition) and measured S and heart rate before each CPT session pO2 (T0), immediately after the 30-min session (T30), and 120 min after the session (T150). RESULTS: Within the groups: in the first group, Wang score was significantly lower at T150 than at T0: 4.6 vs In the new-method-CPT group, Wang score was significantly lower at T30 (3.6 vs .(008. ؍ P) 5.0 Wheezing score was significantly lower at T150 .(002. ؍ and at T150 (3.7 vs 4.3, P (001. ؍ P ,4.3 in the first group, and in the new-method-CPT group at T30 than (02. ؍ than at T0 (1.1 vs 1.2, P Between the groups: at .(001. ؍ and at T150 than at T0 (0.9 vs 1.3, P (001. ؍ at T0 (0.8 vs 1.3, P T30 the improvement was significantly better in the new-method-CPT group for overall Wang score and heart rate (P < .001).

F. D. Gomes1, Guy Postiaux2, Denise R. L. Medeiros3, Kadma K. D. S. Monteiro4, Luciana M. M. Sampaio5, Dirceu Costa5 Abstract Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of chest physical therapy (CP) in reducing the clinical score in infants with acute viral bronchiolitis (AVB). Methods: Randomized controlled trial of 30 previously healthy infants (mean age 4.08 SD 3.0 months) with AVB and positive for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), evaluated at three moments: at admission, then at 48 and 72 hours after admission. The procedures were conducted by blinded assessors to each of three groups: G1 - new Chest Physical therapy- nCPT (Prolonged slow expiration - PSE and Clearance rhinopharyngeal retrograde - CRR), G2 - conventional Chest Physical therapy- cCPT (modified postural drainage, expiratory compression, vibration and percussion) and G3 - aspiration of the upper airways. The outcomes of interest were the Wang’s clinical score (CS) and its components: Retractions (RE), Respiratory Rate (RR), Wheezing (WH) and General Conditions (GC). Results: The CS on admission was reduced in G1 (7.0-4.0) and G2 (7.5-5.5) but was unchanged in G3 (7.5-7.0). We observed a change 48 hours after hospitalization in G1 (5.5-3.0) and G2 (4.0-2.0) and in 72 hours, there was a change in G1 (2.0-1.0).

  • Lung Volume Kit Be-Lungkit
    LUNG VOLUME KIT BE-LUNGKIT Lung Volume is a broad term that actually refers to several different respiratory measurements: Tidal Volume - volume of air that is exhaled when breathing out normally. Expiratory Reserve - volume of air that that can still be exhaled after having breathed out normally. Inspiratory Reserve - additional volume of air that is available for strenuous activity. This is the volume of air that can still enter your lungs after taking a normal breath. Vital Capacity - total useable volume of air. Residual Volume - unusable volume of air. (Residual volume cannot be measured with this kit.) Assembly You can measure the lung volumes of an individual using this kit. To assemble it, please follow these instructions: 1. Insert the mouthpiece halfway through the opening of the volume bag. Secure the mouthpiece with the rubber bands. 2. While sitting, hold the bag on your knee and press a paper towel against it to force the air out of the bag. Start with the sealed end and push the air out toward the mouthpiece. Measure Tidal Volume 1. Wipe the mouthpiece with a cotton ball dipped in alcohol to clean it. 2. Take a normal breath in, hold your nose and take a normal breath out into the lung volume bag mouthpiece. Slide a paper towel along the bag to push all the air to the lower end and measure the volume of air it contains. (The bag has liter and 1/10 liter graduations.) Record this as tidal volume. 3. Remove all the air from the lung volume bag by sliding the paper towel along its length.
