About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Bronchiectasis focused on measuring Lung Clearance Index, Non cystic fibrosis Bronchiectasis, Multiple Breath Nitrogen Washout

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Non cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis in stable state

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Not in stable state
  • Bronchiectasis with severe respiratory morbidities likely to reduce the chest physiotherapy session efficacy (e.g. : severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)

Sites / Locations

  • Cliniques universitaires Saint-Luc

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Other

Arm Label

Autogenic drainage

Arm Description

The autogenic drainage will be the chest physiotherapy technique used for this study. Autogenic drainage is an airway clearance technique that attempts to obtain the optimal airflow to evacuate the secretions. This technique uses modulation of inspiratory and expiratory airflow at different breathing level within the vital capacity.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Change of Lung Clearance Index (LCI)
LCI will me measured before and after the chest physiotherapy session

Secondary Outcome Measures

Change of Spirometry
Forced expired volume in one second (FEV1) and Forced expired flow at 25-75% of the forced vital capacity (FEF25-75) will be measured before and after the chest physiotherapy session
Sputum weight
Sputum will be collected during the 30 minutes of chest physiotherapy session and 5 minutes immediately after. Sputum weight will be measured and correlated with change of LCI and spirometry values

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This study will investigate the effects of on technique of chest physiotherapy on pulmonary function. Effects of pulmonary function will be measured by the spirometry, body plethysmography and by the multiple breath nitrogen washout technique.
Detailed Description
This is a before-after intervention study. Spirometry, body plethysmography and then multiple breath nitrogen washout will be measured before the application of chest physiotherapy. The chest physiotherapy technique used will be autogenic drainage during 30 minutes. A resting period of 5 minutes will be given to the participant before the following tests. Spirometry, body plethysmography and then multiple breath nitrogen washout will be measured again, in the same order, after the application of chest physiotherapy.
