“…Activity selection is age-dependent and incorporated into school sporting or external activities where possible. Ideally, toddlers and young children have fun, physical activities interspersed with other ACTs (66). For older children, cycles of exercise of a moderate intensity are mixed with ACBT, AD, PEP therapy, or FET.…”

Airway-Clearance Techniques in Children and Adolescents with Chronic Suppurative Lung Disease and Bronchiectasis

2017

Common symptoms of chronic suppurative lung disease or bronchiectasis in children and adolescents are chronic cough with sputum production, retention of excess secretions in dilated airways, and a history of recurrent infections. Clinical management includes the prescription of airway-clearance techniques (ACTs) to facilitate mucociliary clearance, optimize sputum expectoration, relieve symptoms, and improve well-being. A wide range of ACTs are available for selection, and these strategies may be applied in isolation or in combination. The choice of technique will depend in part on the age of the child, their clinical state, and factors which may influence treatment adherence. While the evidence base for ACTs in children and adolescent with these conditions is not robust, the current available evidence in addition to clinical expertise provides guidance for technique prescription and clinical effect. An overview of the most commonly applied ACTs, including their physiological rationale and discussion of factors influencing prescription in children and adolescents is outlined in this review.

“…In Sweden, the chest physiotherapy that is generally used for children with respiratory difficulties is strongly influenced by the physiotherapy treatment for children with cystic fibrosis, CF. This treatment programme has excellent outcomes, even on a long term basis, and is used both in an acute phase of CF and as maintenance treatment [23,[37][38][39].…”

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate what treatment methods physiotherapists in Sweden use for infants 0-24 months hospitalised with acute breathing difficulties due to lower respiratory tract infections. Material and methods: We constructed an anonymous digital survey for paediatric physiotherapists in Sweden. It was distributed by e-mail and was posted on professional websites. Completed forms were obtained from all 21 counties in Sweden. Results: Eighty-eight physiotherapists replied and 52 worked with the target group. Different treatment methods were used, based on the situation and the individual's symptom. The most common methods involved physical activity and change of the body position. Conclusions: A variety of treatment methods are used by the Swedish physiotherapists. The most commonly used are treatment methods involving frequent changes of the body position and stimulation to physical activity. Thus, the praxis in Sweden seem to differ from methods described in the literature. Methods are chosen depending on the symptoms of the patients. No differences in the choice of treatment methods were found regarding the physiotherapists' background characteristics.

“…Destaca-se que, como a vibração é empregada em associação à DP e à percussão, os estudos não apontam seus efeitos isolados 18 . Ainda neste contexto, Lannefors e Wollmer 19 avaliaram a clearance do muco em pacientes com FC submetidos às técnicas de Pressão Expiratória Positiva (PEP) e exercício em cicloergômetro e a DP, associada com a TEF, observando poucas ou quase nenhuma diferença entre as técnicas. Em contrapartida, Hofmeyer et al 20 , analisando a PEP como um tratamento da FC, observaram que a quantidade de muco expectorada foi maior quando somente a DP foi utilizada, sendo menos efetiva quando se incluiu a PEP.…”

A fibrose cística (FC), denominada também de mucoviscidose, é uma doença genética do tipo autossômica recessiva que acomete principalmente crianças e indivíduos de raça branca. O objetivo deste estudo foi propiciar uma visão sobre a FC, assim como as possíveis formas de tratamento fisioterapêutico. A pesquisa da literatura foi realizada nas bases de dados SciELO e PubMed, no período de abril de 2002 a março de 2013, através da seleção de artigos científicos referentes à FC, utilizando como palavras-chave: “fibrose cística”, “fisioterapia em fibrose cística” e “fisioterapia respiratória”. Por meio desta revisão, pôde-se observar que, apesar da complexidade da doença, a prática fisioterapêutica, com o uso das técnicas: tapotagem, vibração, drenagem postural (DP), huffing, oscilação oral de alta frequência (OOAF), drenagem autógena (DA) e o ciclo ativo da respiração (CAR), apresenta eficácia tanto no tratamento como na manutenção da qualidade de vida dos pacientes com FC.
