The influence of Intrapulmonary percussive ventilation on gastroesophageal reflux in infants under the age of 1 year Vrije Universiteit Brussel
BACKGROUND: Intrapulmonary percussive ventilation (IPV) is an airway clearance technique used at any age to facilitate the removal of secretions from the respiratory tract. The effect of IPV on gastroesophageal reflux(GER) is not well documented. This study aimed to determine the influence of IPV on GER in infants.
METHODS: During a 24-hour multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH monitoring (MII-pH), infants in the intervention group ...

Chest compressions during ventilation in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest cause reversed airflow Vrije Universiteit Brussel University of Antwerp Ghent University
AIM: During cardiopulmonary resuscitation, once the patient is intubated, compressions and ventilations are performed simultaneously. Chest compressions during the inspiratory phase of ventilation may force air out of the lungs, causing so-called "reversed airflow", which may lead to ineffective ventilation. The purpose of this study is to determine the occurrence of this phenomenon and to quantify the volume of reversed airflow.
...Chest compressions during ventilation in out-of-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation cause fragmentation of the airflow Vrije Universiteit Brussel Ghent University
INTRODUCTION: When a patient suffers an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, ventilation and chest compressions are often given simultaneously during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. These simultaneous chest compressions may cause a fragmentation of the airflow, which may lead to an ineffective ventilation. This study focusses on the occurrence and quantification of this fragmentation and its effect on ventilation.

Intrapulmonary percussive ventilation improves lung function in cystic fibrosis patients chronically colonized with Pseudomonas aeruginosa: a pilot cross-over study Institute of Tropical Medicine Vrije Universiteit Brussel
High levels of shear stress can prevent and disrupt Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm formation in vitro. Intrapulmonary percussive ventilation (IPV) could be used to introduce shear stress into the lungs of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients to disrupt biofilms in vivo. We performed a first-of-its-kind pilot clinical study to evaluate short-term IPV therapy at medium (200 bursts per minute, bpm) and high frequency (400 bpm) as compared to autogenic ...
