Article Synopsis
- This study investigated the effectiveness of mechanical chest physiotherapy (CPT) using the LEGA-Kid® device compared to manual CPT for children under five with lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI).
- Results showed that while both methods reduced respiratory rates and distress scores, mechanical CPT significantly outperformed manual CPT in lowering respiratory rates.
- The study concluded that both CPT methods improved respiratory distress without adverse effects, but mechanical CPT provided better results, suggesting it might be the preferred choice for treating LRTI in young children.
