A Case Report: Application Of Non-Invasive High Frequency Percussive Ventilation Via The Volumetric Diffusive Respirator For Secretion Clearance And Lung Recruitment
Abstract:Introduction: Management of airway secretion clearance and atelectasis during acute respiratory infections presents unique challenges for children with congenital myopathies. We describe a child with myotubular myopathy and pneumonitis in which non-invasive High Frequency Percussive Ventilation (HFPV) was used for lung recruitment and secretion mobilization, alleviating need for reintubation. Case Report: An 11 month-old male with congenital myotubular myopathy, and chronic non-invasive positive pressure venti… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
