13. Comparação entre a eficacia de dois aparelhos utilizados na fisioterapia respiratoria em pacientes com fibrose cistica / Comparison between of two equipments used in chest physiotherapy in cystic fibrosis patients
Introduction: Cystic fibrosis patients have an abnormal pulmonary secretions quantity that cause airway obstruction. The chest physiotherapy is an important part of the patients? care because help airway clearance and prevent pulmonary secretion accumulation. Objective: To compare the Flutter VRP1® and Shaker® devices with respect wet and dry sputum weight

14. Avaliação da deposição pulmonar da tobramicina inalatoria, antes e apos fisioterapia respiratoria e salbutamol inalatorio em pacientes com fibrose cistica (FC) / Tobramycin pulmonary deposition before and after chest physiotherapy in cystic fibrosis
Introdução: Poucos estudos sobre a quantificação da deposição broncopulmonar de radioaerossóis foram descritos na literatura. Uma das pesquisas encontrou que em torno de 7% da tobramicina inalada atingem os pulmões e apenas 16% desta tobramicina pulmonar é depositada perifericamente, e outro estudo concluiu que 10% é depositada nos pulmões e 90% i

15. Avaliação da aderencia a fisioterapia respiratoria dos pacientes com fibrose cistica acompanhados no hospital de clinicas da Universidade Estadual de Campinas
Cystic fibrosis (CF) remains an incurable life limiting condition which is the most common inherited lethal condition in most Western countries. Advances in the care of this condition, particularly advances in respiratory management, have seen the focus of treatment Chest physiotherapy (CPT) has been an important part of CF treatment regimens for over 40 yea

16. Use of nebulised saline and nebulised terbutaline as an adjunct to chest physiotherapy.
To determine whether sputum clearance is increased by using nebulised saline or terbutaline as an adjunct to chest physiotherapy, a radioaerosol method (using technetium-99m labelled human albumin millimicrospheres) was employed in eight patients with stable bronchiectasis on four occasions, for comparison of sputum clearance with four different regimens. Th

17. Is cough as effective as chest physiotherapy in the removal of excessive tracheobronchial secretions?
The relative value of chest physiotherapy (including cough) and cough alone for the removal of excessive tracheobronchial secretions has been assessed in six patients with stable chronic obstructive lung disease. After labelling with inhaled radioactive tracer particles, clearance of secretions from selected central and peripheral lung regions was followed w

18. Effect of chest physiotherapy on blood gases of neonates treated by intermittent positive pressure respiration
The effect of standardized chest physiotherapy and hyperinflation on the blood gases of neonates being treated for tetanus by intermittent positive pressure respiration was investigated. It was found that physiotherapy and suction to remove secretions did not improve oxygen pressures but produced a small drop in both Paco2 and Pao2. This was associated with

21. Chest physiotherapy in cystic fibrosis: a comparative study of autogenic drainage and the active cycle of breathing techniques with postural drainage.
BACKGROUND--Autogenic drainage has been suggested as an alternative method of chest physiotherapy in patients with cystic fibrosis. In this study autogenic drainage was compared with the active cycle of breathing techniques (ACBT) together with postural drainage. METHODS--Eighteen patients with cystic fibrosis took part in a randomised two-day crossover tria

22. Physiotherapy after coronary artery surgery: are breathing exercises necessary?
One hundred and ten men undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting took part in a prospective randomised study comparing three physiotherapy protocols. All patients were taught self supported huffing and coughing by a physiotherapist and encouraged to move about. This comprised the sole treatment for the 37 control patients (group 3). Additional physiotherap

23. Effect of chest physiotherapy on oxygen saturation in patients with cystic fibrosis.
Decreasing arterial oxygen saturation has been reported in patients with cystic fibrosis during postural drainage when this was combined with other manoeuvres, which did not, however, include thoracic expansion exercises or pauses for relaxation and breathing control. When these features were included in an active cycle of breathing techniques during postura

24. Surgical management of pulmonary hydatid cysts in children.
BACKGROUND--Hydatid disease is common in Libya with a prevalence of 2%. Surgery of pulmonary hydatid disease remains the best treatment and aims to remove the cyst or its remnants and obliterate the residual cavity. METHODS--Forty three consecutive patients under 15 years of age were investigated by plain chest radiography, ultrasonography of the abdomen, an
