No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The effectiveness, safety and tolerance/comfort of high-frequency chest wall oscillation (HFCWO) in prolonged mechanical ventilation patients remain unknown. This study aimed to test the hypothesis that HFCWO could produce greater clearance volume of sputum, greater improvement rates in serial changes in the chest X-ray (CXR), and greater weaning success rates after extubation in Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation (PMV) patients with intra-tracheal intubation.

Conditions

  • Chronic Ventilator Dependency

Interventions

DEVICE

HFCWO (Hill-Rom Vest™ Airway Clearance System)

study subjects in the HFCWO group received HFCWO for 15 min twice a day for 5 days after extubation
