Investigating the effectiveness of combining high-frequency chest wall oscillation with bilevel positive airway pressure in pneumonia patients: a retrospective cohort study
Combining BiPAP and HFCWO reduces the need for sputum suction and improves oxygen demand for patients but does not change hospital days, respiratory failure, or mortality. Further large prospective cohort studies are necessary to confirm the efficacy of this management approach.
