Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Because AE-COPD result in impairment of both pulmonary and respiratory muscle functions, as well as an increasing impact on costs, priority should be given to interventions to slow the progression of the disease, prevention of exacerbations and reduce the risk of comorbidity.
Chest physiotherapy is often used in hospitalized patients with AE-COPD with the aim of favoring the removal of secretions and thus to improve the ventilation perfusion (V/Q), and therefore the function lung. The limited scientific evidence has determined that their use is controversial and not routinely recommended in clinical practice guidelines. Current clinical guidelines in the treatment of COPD are unable to rule on the application of respiratory therapy during exacerbations, since there is little scientific evidence of its benefits in the short and long term.

Respiratory Therapy
Respiratory Therapy consists of postural drainage, positive expiratory pressure (PEP) and vibropercussion (it is a postural drainage method, which uses chest clapping with a flexible wrist and cupped hands or a mechanical vibrator to loosen and mobilize retained secretions that can then be expectorated or drained). Postural drainage is an airways clearance technique in which patient's body is positioned so that the trachea is inclined downward and below the affected chest area.
The PEP consists of expiratory cycles through a system generating a positive pressure of 10-20 cc (cubic centimeter) water. Vibropercussion is applied by the use of a mechanical system following rib movement during expiration to enhance clearance of secretions.
Intervention group received 30-minute-sessions twice a day, 7 days per week, during hospitalization period.
