The short term influence of chest physiotherapy on lung function parameters in pediatric bronchiectasis

Discussion: In this small group of evaluated patients, we can’t show evidence of a significant short-term influence of chest physiotherapy on FEV1 nor LCI in PCD and CF, although the variability is large. The study group will be extended in the next few months (aim 15 patients in each group), with additional statistical evaluations.
