Abstract:
Diseases of the respiratory tract remain an urgent issue in modern pediatrics. Pneumonia is one of the most common forms of damage to the respiratory system and remains the main infectious cause of morbidity and mortality in children throughout the world, in particular in Ukraine. High-frequency chest wall oscillation (HFCWO) is a modern method of bronchodrainage that affects the ventilation function of the lungs and improves pulmonary gas exchange in children based on the vibration-compression effect of the Vest Airway Clearance System. The Vest device has proven its effectiveness in the treatment of children with cystic fibrosis, bronchial asthma, and bronchiectasis. The aim: to study the changes in hemodynamic indicators (HI) in children with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) with an acute and uncomplicated course under the influence of HFCWO.
