- Conditions
- Atelectasis
- Registration Number
- NCT02645695
- Lead Sponsor
- ILKE KUPELI
- Brief Summary
Effects of the high frequent chest wall oscillation technique applied on the patients who were intubated in intensive care unit were investigated.
A total of 30 patients who were intubated and under the mechanical ventilator supplied, were included in the study. While the control group (n=15) received routine pulmonary rehabilitation technique, the study group (n=15) was administered high frequency chest wall oscillation for 72 hours as 4 times of 15-minute intervals, in addition to the pulmonary rehabilitation technique. Patients 'APACHE-II scores, dry sputum weight, Lung Collapse Index and blood gas values were measured at the hours 24th, 48th and 72nd, and endotracheal aspirate culture was studied at initial and 72nd. In addition, patient outcomes were evaluated at the end of the first week.
