Airway Clearance
The entire respiratory system is lined with cells that secrete mucus. Airway mucus is a
complex substance that forms a protective barrier lining the respiratory tract. Bacteria and
other airborne particles become trapped in this sticky mucus and then swept upwards and
outwards.
Normal airway clearance is accomplished by two important mechanisms:
•The mucociliary clearance (MCC) system
Ciliated cell: 200 cilia per cell
Ciliary beat frequency – 12-22 hz ,Mucus moves upward 1-3 mm/sec
•The ability to cough – upper airway
•
Cilia move together in coordinated fashion to
move mucus up airways
Respiratory health depends on consistent clearance of airway secretions.
Impaired Airway Clearance
Mucus secretion and mucus clearance are not in balance in Impaired airway clearance
Ineffective Ciliary Clearance: Damaged or poorly performing cilia
•Cystic fibrosis
•Primary ciliary dyskinesia
•Kartagener syndrome
•Status post heart-lung or lung transplantation
•Smoking or exposure to second-hand smoke
Excessive or Abnormal Mucus Production: Large quantities of mucus, or mucus with altered
physical properties
•Cystic fibrosis
•Bronchiectasis
•Asthma
•Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), emphysema, chronic bronchitis
•Mechanical ventilation

Introduction - Mucus Rheology
Mucus tend to get more fluid when exposed to shear forces

At the macroscopic level, mucus is a
non-Newtonian, thixotropic gel
distinguished from classical solids and
liquids by its response to shear stress.
Under low shear, mucus behaves like

High Frequency Chest Wall Oscillations Therapy
HFCWO works on lower airways and lung areas to move the secretions to upper airways which
can be then coughed out.
HFCWO mobilizes the mucus by
changing the non Newtonian rheology of mucus to liquify it
Use collateral airway in lower lungs and alveoli to go behind the mucus plugs and push mucus
up with airflow
Expiratory flow bias helps move mucus up from the peripheral lower airways to the upper
airways for clearing through coughing, suctioning etc
The Vest
Inflatable garment connected by hoses to an air-pulse generator.
The garment rapidly inflates and deflates, compressing and
releasing the chest wall. Process called high-frequency chest wall
oscillation (HFCWO)

Improvement in short term
and longer term pulmonary
function
Provides consistent, quality
therapy
Considerations for Selecting an Airway Clearance Modality
• Cognitive limitations
– Age / mental status
– Sedation
• Physical ability
– Coordination / strength
– Shortness of breath / fatigue
– Mechanical Ventilation / Artificial Airways
• Promote improved compliance / adherence when:
– Effective, without side effects
– Comfortable
– Time efficient
– Adaptable with illness
– Can be used in any setting
– Easy to teach, learn and use!
