“…A 2008192 short-term RCT conducted during hospital admission for an exacerbation found significantly less sputum expectorated when patients used high-frequency chest wall compression/oscillation in isolation compared with their usual airway clearance technique. There was no associated change in lung function.…”

“…A number of studies have found the effectiveness of HFCWC to be equal to that of CCPT,7 whereas some studies have favored HFCWO over conventional physiotherapy 40–42. A more recent UK study of the use of HFCWO during an exacerbation found its efficacy to be less than that of the persons’ usual technique in terms of sputum clearance 43. A preference for this technique over CCPT has been reported;7 however in one study, the participants’ perception was that their usual airway clearance technique was more effective 43.…”

Physiotherapy has long been considered a cornerstone of condition management for people with cystic fibrosis (CF). The presentation of CF has changed over time with an increased life expectancy and increased expectations of people with CF to have a complete lifestyle. In turn, the scope of strategies used in physiotherapy for CF have also changed dramatically over the years, moving away from routine postural drainage and manual techniques toward an individualized regimen including the choice of many different forms of airway clearance, such as both independent and assisted, exercise, treatments to promote continence and good posture, inhalation therapy, oxygen, and noninvasive ventilation. This article describes the techniques and overall strategies used by physiotherapists in helping people with CF to manage the symptoms and progression of their condition.
