High frequency percussive ventilation for respiratory immobilization in radiotherapy [PDF]
High frequency percussive ventilation (HFPV) employs high frequency low tidal volumes (100-400 bursts/min) to provide respiration in awake patients while simultaneously reducing respiratory motion. The purpose of this study is to evaluate HFPV as a technique for respiratory motion immobilization in radiotherapy. In this study fifteen healthy volunteers

High frequency percussive ventilation in pediatric acute respiratory failure
AbstractObjectiveHigh frequency percussive ventilation (HFPV) is used in acute respiratory failure, but is poorly described in pediatrics. We aimed to describe the clinical characteristics, ventilator settings, and outcomes of a large pediatric cohort, and to determine predictors of who would benefit from HFPV.HypothesisGas exchange 2 h after HFPV ...
