title: [The use of high-frequency chest wall oscillation for the combined treatment of the children presenting with mucoviscidosis].
abstract: Mucoviscidosis is a hereditary disease characterized by the severe clinical course which requires its continuous management by means of appropriate therapeutic and rehabilitative modalities. The objective of the present study was to develop the scientifically grounded rationale for the application of vibration and compression impacts with the use of The Vest clearance system for the clearance of the airways in 30 children at the age varying from 5 to 17 years presenting with mucoviscidosis. The results of the study suggest high effectiveness of high-frequency oscillation of the chest wall in such patients. Moreover, the new data have been obtained illustrating the beneficial influence of this therapeutic modality on the clinical symptoms of the disease, characteristics of the external respiration function, and results of pulseoxymetry.
