Purposes: Sputum retention often causes respiratory tract infections and hospitalization of patients for pulmonary diseases. Conventional techniques for sputum clearance include percussion (clapping) and vibration. However, these treatments may lead to discomfort and hemodynamic instabilities in patients, thereby influencing the effectiveness of sputum clearance. Thus, developing a safe, comfortable, and effective sputum clearance method that can also prevent respiratory tract infections has become a significant clinical issue. This study intended to investigate the effects of high-frequency chest wall oscillation (HFCWO) on sputum clearance for patients with pulmonary diseases. Methods: A two-group, before-after research design was adopted to investigate the effects of HFCWO on patients from the pulmonary medicine division ward of a medical center in central Taiwan. Based on predefined criteria, 60 patients were included, each randomly assigned to either...
