Airway Clearance

Unit 4 Test RCT

QuestionAnswer
Pneumatic device to deliver a series of pressurized gas miniburts at rates of 100 to 225 cycles per minute to the respiratory tract, usually via mouthpiece. (total tx time of 20 mins) Intrapulmonary Percussive Ventilation (IPV)
Small gas volumes are alternately injected into and withdrawn from the vest by the air-pulse generator at a fast rate, creating an oscillatory motion against the patient’s thorax.​ High Frequency Chest Wall Oscillation
30 minute therapy sessions at freq between 5 Hz and 25 Hz. Depending on need and response one to six therapy sessions per day​ High Frequency Chest Wall Oscillation
A non-stretch inflatable vest that covers the patient’s entire torso Vest Airway Clearance System
Rapid vibratory movement of small volumes of air back and forth in the respiratory tract. At high frequencies (12 to 25 Hz) these oscillations act as a physical “mucolytic”, enhancing cough clearance of secretions.​ Oscillation
Airway application for HFCWO? Flutter valve​ & Intrapulmonary percussive ventilation (IPV)​
External application for HFCWO? vest
Produce PEP with oscillations in the airway during expiration.​ Airway Oscillating Device​
Combines the techniques of EPAP with high-frequency oscillations (HFOs) at the airway opening​ -Patients can control the pressure by changing their expiratory flows.​ Changing the angle of the device alters the oscillations​ Flutter Valve
A type of therapy that clears secretions? PEP
Involves active expiration against variable flow resistance​.Helps move secretions into larger airways by improving ventilation of under aerated segments & by preventing airway collapse during expiration​ PEP/Vibratory PEP
Devices apply positive pressure of 30 to 50 cm H2O to airway for 1 to 3 seconds​ Device then abruptly reverses airway pressure to –30 to –50 cm H2O and maintained 2 to 3 sec.​ MIE - Mechanical insufflation-exsufflation "cough assits"
