Medical Vest Airway Clearance (HFCWO)
Indications & Usage
The high-frequency chest wall oscillation (HFCWO) device is designed for airway clearance treatment. It is primarily used for adult patients experiencing difficult secretions or pulmonary insufficiency caused by mucus obstruction. Additionally, it features atomization functions for inhaling liquid medicine and negative pressure sputum suction for clinical environments.
Clinical References
- Significantly more sputum expectoration compared to traditional CPT/PD.
- Proven safe for trauma patients with lung and chest wall injuries.
- Well tolerated in adults hospitalized for acute asthma or COPD, significantly improving dyspnea.
