Document Summary
Lannefors, 2004 van der schans et al, cochrane database, 2000. Enhanced movement of mucus from the trachea, inner and intermediate but not the outer regions of the lung (alveoli). Has a similar effect on mucus clearance as cough. No one standard physiotherapy treatment will suit everyone. Airway clearance techniques were found to have short term benefits for mucus clearance. Higher amounts of sputum clearance with chest physiotherapy techniques. At present no evidence of long-term effects in sputum clearance, qol or survival. No evidence that pep was less or more effective intervention compared with other forms of physiotherpary. 53% of patients post upper abdominal surgery had ppc in nsw. 39% of patients became high risk for ppc post abdominal surgery. Developed 4 out of 8 from a list of criteria to determine ppc. Odds of high risk patient developing ppcs is 8. 4times higher than low risk patients. Redistribution of ventilation from lower zones to upper zones.
