Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the immediate combined effects of Manual Hyperinflation and standard Physical therapy program on lung recruitment and secretion mass in mechanically ventilated pediatric patients aged between 10-15 years 'old

Description:

In developing countries, lower respiratory tract infection is a major cause of death in children, with severely ill patients being admitted to the critical-care unit. While physical therapists commonly use the manual hyperinflation (MHI) technique for secretion mass clearance in critical-care patients, its efficacy has not been determined in pediatric patients.

Manual hyperinflation is a frequently maneuver used in critically ill intubated and mechanically ventilated patients. With MHI, patients are disconnected from the mechanical ventilator after which their lungs are temporarily ventilated with a manual ventilation bag. so, by applying a larger than normal volume at a low inspiratory pause and expiration with a high expiratory flow, MHI is suggested to mimic a normal cough.

Propagation of airway secretions from the smaller toward the larger airways, then allows for easy removed of airway secretions with the airway suction. finally, MHI could prevent airway plugging and even promote alveolar recruitment. so the aim of the study is to enhance lung recruitment using MHI combined with standard Physical therapy program

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	change the respiratory functions	By increasing tidal volume	2 weeks
Primary	change the respiratory mechanics	increasing inspiratory capacity	2 weeks
Primary	change the bronchospasm	modifying mean airway pressure	2 weeks
Primary	change the amount of ventilation	increasing the oxygen saturation	2 weeks
Secondary	decreasing the amount of secretions	by monitoring the change of amount of secretions collection calibrated tube attached to a closed suction system to calculate the secretion mass before and after treatment using: Suction by Endotracheal closed suction with pressure control ventilation (PCV) will be performed. The duration of suction was 10 s with 5-s rest for each set. Three sets of suction with a closed suction system will be used for both groups of patients.	2 weeks
Secondary	weaning from mechanical ventilator	by improving previously mentioned respiratory function	from 2 to 4 weeks
