Chest physiotherapy with SET

EXPERIMENTAL

Chest physiotherapy will be provided by a single physiotherapist not involved in outcomes assessment. Airway clearance technique will be Slow Expiratory Technique (SET). SET is a slow modulation of airflow in order to remove bronchial secretions within infants lungs. Experimental group will also benefit for standard medical and non-pharmacological care (e.g Standard Treatment)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Medical treatment, health education for parents, rhinopharyngeal clearance using isotonic saline solution, advices.

Other: Standard Treatment

Interventions

Chest physiotherapy with SET, and standard treatment (medical treatment, health education, nasopharyngeal clearance, advice)
