Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical TrialComparison of conventional pulmonary rehabilitation and high-frequency chest wall oscillation in primary ciliary dyskinesia.
Enhancement of mucociliary clearance by pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is advocated in primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). Our primary aim was to compare the efficacy and safety of postural drainage, percussion and vibration [conventional PR (CPR)], and high frequency chest wall oscillation (HFCWO) by studying change in pulmonary function. Our secondary aim was to evaluate patient preferences regarding the two methods. ⋯ PFTs were significantly increased after both PR methods. There were no differences in PFTs and SpO2 between the CPR and HFCWO groups. Both PR methods were found efficient. HFCWO was found more comfortable. HFCWO may be an option in patients with chronic pulmonary disease and low adherence to PR.

Randomized Controlled Trial[A study of the value of high frequency chest wall oscillation in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease].
To explore the safety and efficacy of high-frequency chest wall oscillation (HFCWO) in invasive mechanical ventilation patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). ⋯ HFCWO is very safe and comfortable in ventilated patients with AECOPD. It reduces the total mechanical ventilation time, but cannot improve the prognosis.

Effect of high-frequency chest wall oscillation versus chest physiotherapy on lung function after lung transplant.
The aim of this study is to compare the effects of chest physiotherapy (CPT) and high-frequency chest wall oscillation (HFCWO) on lung function in lung transplant recipients. ⋯ Preliminary results suggest that lung function (measured by Spo2/FiO2) improves with HFWCO after lung transplantation. Although dyspnea and PEF did not differ significantly between treatment types, HFCWO may be an effective, feasible alternative to CPT.

Randomized Controlled TrialUtility of the Pentax-AWS Airwayscope and Macintosh laryngoscope for airway management during chest compressions in 27° left-lateral tilt: a manikin simulation study of maternal cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
American Heart Association (AHA) 2010 cardiopulmonary resuscitation guidelines recommend high-quality chest compressions (minimum interruption, a pace >100 compressions/min, and a depth more than 5 cm). They propose minor changes for pregnant women: manual left deviation of the uterus or a left-lateral incline of 27°-30° to alleviate pressure on the inferior vena cava. We examined the performance of the Pentax-AWS Airwayscope (AWS) and Macintosh laryngoscope (McL) for airway management during chest compressions on a 27° left-lateral tilt (27 LLT) operating table. ⋯ The AWS is an effective tool for airway management during chest compressions in 27 LLT in a manikin, suggesting that the AWS may be a useful device for airway management during maternal resuscitation.

Do chest compressions during simulated infant CPR comply with international recommendations?
Morbidity and mortality remain high following infant cardiac arrest. Optimal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is therefore imperative. ⋯ Compliance of APLS instructors with current international recommendations during simulated infant CPR is poor. The TT technique provided improved CD compliance, while the TF technique provided superior DC compliance. If this reflects current clinical practice, optimisation of performance to achieve international recommendations during infant CPR is called for.
