No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a specific airway clearance technique, l'Expiration Lente Prolongée (ELPr), induces or aggravates gastro-oesophageal reflux in infants under the age of one year. Infants referred to hospital for a multichannel intraluminal impedance pH (pH-MII) monitoring are included in this study. Participation is only possible after signing the informal consent by one of the parents.

expiration lente prolongée

l'Expiration Lente Prolongée (ELPr) is a passive technique to enhance the expiration used in infants, obtained by a slow and increasing manual thoraco-abdominal pression applied at the end of a spontaneous expiration till the residual volume. The aim is to obtain a bigger expired volume compared to a normal expiration and drain the mucus out of the airways (Postiaux 2003). This technique has been invented by Guy Postiaux and is used in the Chest Physiotherapy (CPT).
