TL;DR: Pc-IRV appears to be a good alternative ventilatory mode in comparison with CPPV in a selected group of patients with preload dependency (responders); in these patients with respiratory insufficiency, close hemodynamic monitoring is required to optimize ventilation, especially in relation to the hemodynamic effects.

TL;DR: The data suggest CPT does not result in a short term respiratory benefit, and a decrease in arterial oxygen saturation after CPT and after 2h monitoring; the lateral position results in a betterSaO2 in the pneumonia group while SaO2 tend to decrease in the control population.
Abstract: Two groups of ventilated patients were compared for chest physical therapy on an ICU: respiratory insufficient patients on one side and a control population on the other were submitted either to percussion or vibration therapy, and to postural drainage Our data show a decrease in arterial oxygen saturation after CPT and after 2h monitoring; the lateral position results in a better SaO2 in the pneumonia group while SaO2 tend to decrease in the control population However, no significant therapeutic influence of vibration nor percussion was found Our data suggest CPT does not result in a short term respiratory benefit Further investigations with prolonged sessions of postural drainage are required
