Airway Clearance for Pediatric and Adult Cystic Fibrosis Patients Using a Portable Intra-Pulmonary Percussion Device
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a pilot study where the investigators aim to compare initial use of the standard airway clearance device (SACD) with subsequent use of a Portable Intra-Pulmonary Percussion Device (PIAPD) in patients with cystic fibrosis ages 6 -21 years. The primary hypothesis is that there is no effect of PIAPD on FEV1 2 hours after use, there is no effect on perception of effort and efficacy for the PIAPD. If both are equally effective, the latter device provides an alternative that is both cheaper and portable.

Active Comparator: SACD-Standard Airway Clearance device There will be an Inpatient Arm and Outpatient Arm using the SACD. A large majority of patients will be using VEST therapy as their standard of care airway clearance. A few might be using an Intrapulmonary Percussion Device that uses a mechanism different from the device the study will be testing. |
