NCT02411981

Brief Summary

This study will investigate the effects of on technique of chest physiotherapy on pulmonary function. Effects of pulmonary function will be measured by the spirometry, body plethysmography and by the multiple breath nitrogen washout technique.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change of Lung Clearance Index (LCI)

    LCI will me measured before and after the chest physiotherapy session

    up to 80 minutes

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Change of Spirometry

    up to 40 minutes

  • Sputum weight

    35 minutes

Study Arms (1)

Autogenic drainage

OTHER

The autogenic drainage will be the chest physiotherapy technique used for this study. Autogenic drainage is an airway clearance technique that attempts to obtain the optimal airflow to evacuate the secretions. This technique uses modulation of inspiratory and expiratory airflow at different breathing level within the vital capacity.

You may qualify if:

  • Non cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis in stable state

You may not qualify if:

  • Not in stable state
  • Bronchiectasis with severe respiratory morbidities likely to reduce the chest physiotherapy session efficacy (e.g. : severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)
