Purpose
The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of three airway secretion clearance techniques (chest physical therapy, flutter device and high frequency chest wall oscillation) on decline in pulmonary function over a three year period in patients with cystic fibrosis.

|---|---|
| Active Comparator: 2 |
Device: Oscillatory Positive Expiratory Pressure
Therapy was prescribed twice daily for 20 minute sessions and included airway vibration, oscillating PEP, and forced expiratory technique (FET) with coughing.
Other Name: Flutter Device (Scandipharm, Birmingham, AL)
|
| Active Comparator: 3 |
Other: PD&P: Postural drainage and percussion
Each of the six positions are to be clapped or vibrated for 4 minutes. After each position the patient is to do three forced expiratory techniques (FET) and cough, continue with FET and coughing until all mobilized mucus has been cleared.
Other Name: CPT
|
| Active Comparator: 1 |
Device: High frequency chest wall oscillation
Therapy prescribed twce daily for twenty minute sessions. High frequency chest wall oscillation (HFCWO) applies sharp compression pulses via an air-pulse generator and inflatable vest. HFCWO generates transient increases in airflow at low lung volumes, cough-like shear forces, and alterations in the consistency of secretions.
Other Name: Vest

Detailed Description:
Study Design: Randomized clinical trial with pulmonary function testing obtained every three months in each of the three treatment groups. Change in slope of FEV1 will be compared. Days of hospitalization and use of oral or IV antibiotics for respiratory tract infection, quality of life, subject satisfaction, and compliance will also be compared.
Sample Size: Enrollment will be completed after 180 subjects have been recruited. Fifteen CF centers will participate.
Subject Selection: Subjects must have the diagnosis of CF, be > 7 years of age and have an FEV1 > 45% of predicted.
Prescribed Therapy: Each subject will receive airway secretion clearance twice a day.
Outcomes: Change in slope of FEV1; days of hospitalization and use of oral or IV antibiotics for respiratory tract infection; quality of life; subject satisfaction; compliance.
