Exercise-based rehabilitation is already a part of cystic fibrosis (CF) treatment; however, patient adherence low.To assess the effectiveness home exercise programme using active video games (AVGs) as training modality for children and adolescents with CF.Thirty-nine CF were randomised to control group (CG, n = 20, age 11 ± 6 years; FEV1 86.2 20.5% predicted) or (AVGG, 19, 13 3 82.7 21.7% predicted). The protocol consisted 30- 60-min sessions, 5 days/week, weeks Nintendo Wii™ platform....

<h3>BACKGROUND:</h3> Mechanical insufflation-exsufflation (MI-E) is a noninvasive technique performed to simulate cough and remove sputum from proximal airways. To date, the effects of MI-E on critically ill patients invasive mechanical ventilation are not fully elucidated. In this randomized crossover trial, we evaluated efficacy safety combined expiratory rib cage compressions (ERCC). <h3>METHODS:</h3> Twenty-six consecutive subjects who were sedated, intubated, &gt; 48 h perform 2...

<h3>BACKGROUND:</h3> Mechanical insufflation-exsufflation (MI-E) has been proposed as a potential strategy to generate high expiratory flows and simulate cough in the critically ill. However, efficacy safety of MI-E during invasive mechanical ventilation are still be fully elucidated. This study intubated mechanically ventilated pigs aimed evaluate effects 8 combinations pressures on mucus displacement, respiratory flows, well mechanics hemodynamics. <h3>METHODS:</h3> Six healthy...

We hypothesized that the use of mechanical insufflation-exsufflation can reduce incidence acute respiratory failure within 48-hour post-extubation period in intensive care unit-acquired weakness patients.This was a prospective randomized controlled open-label trial. Patients diagnosed with were consecutively enrolled based on Medical Research Council score ≤ 48/60. The patients randomly received two daily sessions; control group, conventional chest physiotherapy performed, while intervention...

<h3>BACKGROUND:</h3> Mechanical insufflation-exsufflation (MI-E) is crucial to assist patients with impaired cough, especially those neuromuscular diseases. Despite recent advancements that enable real-time display of peak expiratory flow (PEF) and inspiratory volume, accurately monitoring these parameters MI-E devices during treatment can still present challenges. <h3>METHODS:</h3> A bench study used a mechanical lung connected 3 (EOVE-70; E-70 Comfort Cough II) was conducted evaluate PEF...

Abstract Background: Mechanical insufflation-exsufflation (MI-E) is a non-invasive technique performed through the CoughAssist In-Exsufflator to simulate cough and remove mucus from proximal airways. To date, effects of MI-E on critically ill patients invasive mechanical ventilation (MV) are not fully elucidated. The purpose this study was compare efficacy safety combined or manual chest physiotherapy (CPT) in these patients. Methods: This cross-over clinical enrolled consecutive who were...
