Adherence to Airway Clearance. Novel Approaches to Improving Adherence

Summary

An airway clearance technique (ACT) is one of the core treatments for children with chronic lung diseases who are unable to clear their secretions effectively. Unfortunately adherence to performing an ACT is low with a reported rate between 40 - 70%. Up to the present, there has been no way to objectively measure adherence to an ACT. With new technology, it is now feasible to connect an electronic manometer to an airway clearance device to objectively measure how often the child is actually performing their ACT. The first part of this proposed study is to objectively measure adherence against reported adherence over a 4 month period. During the second 4 months a video game will be added to the digital manometer which only operates if participants are performing their ACT properly. Adherence will again be measured.
