  • 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.

  • A Comparison of the Therapeutic Effectiveness
    A COMPARISON OF THE THERAPEUTIC EFFECTIVENESS AND ACCEPTANCE OF CONVENTIONAL POSTURAL DRAINAGE AND PERCUSSION, INTRAPULMONARY PERCUSSIVE VENTILATION AND IDGH FREQUENCY CHEST WALL COMPRESSION IN HOSPITALIZED PATIENTS WITH CYSTIC FIBROSIS A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Sarah Meredith Varekojis, B.S. ***** The Ohio State University 1998 Master's Examination Committee: Approved by Mr. F. Herbert Douce, Adviser Dr. Phil Hoberty Adviser Dr. Karen McCoy School of Allied Medical Professions ABSTRACT A significant clinical manifestation of cystic fibrosis is abnormally abundant and viscous bronchial secretions. This leads to obstruction of bronchi in the lungs and predisposes the individual to chronic pulmonary infections. Bronchopulmonary hygiene is an essential part of the care of a patient with cystic fibrosis in order to enhance mucociliary clearance. Currently, several modalities of therapy are available, including high frequency chest wall compressions (HFCC), intrapulmonary percussive ventilation (IPV) and conventional postural drainage and percussion (PD&P). This study was designed to directly compare the sputum produced with HFCC, IPV and PD&P. Twenty-seven hospitalized patients were recruited for the study. Each patient received two consecutive days of each form of therapy in random order. All therapies were delivered three times a day for thirty minutes. Any sputum produced during the treatment time was expectorated and collected. Sputum was collected for a total of sixty minutes: fifteen minutes before the treatment during aerosol delivery, during the thirty minute treatment and for fifteen minutes post therapy. Sputum expectorated during each session was weighed wet and then dried and weighed again.

  • The Short-Term Effect of Breathing Tasks Via an Incentive Spirometer on Lung Function Compared with Autogenic Drainage in Subjects with Cystic Fibrosis
    The Short-Term Effect of Breathing Tasks Via an Incentive Spirometer on Lung Function Compared With Autogenic Drainage in Subjects With Cystic Fibrosis Gil Sokol, Daphna Vilozni PhD, Ran Hakimi, Moran Lavie MD, Ifat Sarouk MD, Bat-El Bar MD, Adi Dagan MD, Miryam Ofek MD, and Ori Efrati MD BACKGROUND: Forced expiration may assist secretion movement by manipulating airway dy- namics in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Expiratory resistive breathing via a handheld incentive spirometer has the potential to control the expiratory flow via chosen resistances (1–8 mm) and thereby mobilize secretions and improve lung function. Our objective was to explore the short-term effect of using a resistive-breathing incentive spirometer on lung function in subjects with CF compared with the autogenic drainage technique. METHODS: This was a retrospective study. ؍ Subjects with CF performed 30–45 min of either the resistive-breathing incentive spirometer (n technique on separate days. The spirometer encourages the (32 ؍ or autogenic drainage (n (40 patient to exhale as long as possible while maintaining a low lung volume. The autogenic drainage technique includes repetitive inspiratory and expiratory maneuvers at various tidal breathing magnitudes while exhalation is performed in a sighing manner. Spirometry was performed before and 20–30 min after the therapy. RESULTS: Use of a resistive-breathing incentive spirometer improved FVC and FEV1 by 5–42% in 26 subjects. The forced expiratory flow during the middle half of the FVC maneuver (FEF25-75%) improved by >20% in 9 (22%) subjects. FVC improved the most in subjects with an FEV1 of 40–60% of predicted.

    Cystic Fibrosis: Current Trends in Respiratory Care Jeffrey S Wagener MD and Aree A Headley RRT Introduction Cystic Fibrosis Lung Disease Diagnosis Clinical Monitoring Pulmonary Function Monitoring Radiographic Monitoring Aerosol Therapies and Delivery Devices Inhaled Bronchodilators Inhaled Anti-inflammatory Agents Inhaled Mucolytics Inhaled Antibiotics Delivery Devices Airway Clearance Techniques Chest Physiotherapy Active Cycle of Breathing Autogenic Drainage Positive Expiratory Pressure and Flutter Intrapulmonary Percussive Ventilation High-Frequency Chest Compression Exercise Noninvasive Ventilation Summary Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease that typically produces malnutrition and chronic respiratory infections. Prolonged bronchial obstruction, infection, and inflammation result in bronchiectstasis and permanent lung damage. Most cystic fibrosis patients die because of this progressive respira- tory disease. Thus, in the absence of a cure, effective respiratory therapy is the primary means to extend and improve the quality of life for the cystic fibrosis patient. Aerosol therapy, airway clearance techniques, and noninvasive ventilation can all improve quality of life and possibly extend survival. Close patient monitoring with pulmonary function testing, chest radiography, and induced sputum can result in earlier treatment, potentially reducing permanent lung damage. Earlier diagnosis has prevented serious complications through early initiation of preventive therapies such as improved nutrition. Key words: pediatric, respiratory,

  • (HCP): Use of the Airway Dome
    Instructions for Healthcare Provider (HCP): Use of the Airway Dome. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has issued an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for the Airway Dome, for use by healthcare providers (HCP) as an additional layer of barrier protection in addition to personal protective equipment (PPE) to prevent HCP exposure to pathogenic biological airborne particulates by providing isolation of hospitalized patients with suspected or confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19, at the time of definitive airway management, when performing airway-related medical procedures, or during certain transport of such patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. HCP should follow these instructions, as well as procedures at their healthcare facility to use the Airway Dome. Authorized non-transport use of Airway Dome is only for airway management (e.g., intubation, extubation and suctioning airways), or when performing any airway-related medical procedures (e.g., high flow nasal cannula oxygen treatments, nebulizer treatments, manipulation of oxygen mask or CPAP/BiPAP (continuous positive airway pressure/bi-level positive airway pressure) mask use, airway suctioning, percussion and postural drainage). Authorized use of the Airway Dome during patient transport is only within a hospital setting for temporary transfer with direct admission within the hospital in the presence of a registered nurse or physician. The patient should have constant monitoring of vital signs, electrocardiogram (EKG), SpO2% (oxygen saturation), End tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2) if available throughout transport. For all authorized uses, the patient should always have supplemental oxygen during use of the Airway Dome. The Airway Dome has not been FDA-approved or cleared for this use; The Airway Dome has been authorized only for the duration of the declaration that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of the emergency use of medical devices under section 564(b)(1) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, 21 U.S.C.
