The aim of the current study is to compare the effects of ventilator hyperinflation and vibrocompression on lung compliance in mechanically ventilated patients.
Eighty-one mechanically ventilated patients more than 48 hours up to 7 days
Their ages range from 35 to 55 years old.
Medical stability (mean arterial pressure > 60 < 110, systolic blood pressure > 80, diastolic blood pressure > 60, fraction of inspired oxygen < 60, positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) <10)
Unstable hemodynamics
Fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) ≥ 0.6
PEEP ≥ 10 cmH2O
undrained pneumothorax and hemothorax or subcutaneous emphysema
