The increased bronchial secretions and reduced mucociliary function in respiratory diseases lead to the risk of atelectasis or lung collapse, and in severe cases, respiratory failure. Many studies have shown that high-frequency chest wall oscillation therapy (HFCWO) can be used as an adjunctive therapy for patients with respiratory diseases, but effectiveness varies across patients. Therefore, the actual efficacy and valid evidence of the use of HFCWO need to be further reviewed. A systematic review was conducted in this study to explore the effectiveness of HFCWO therapy in improving patients with respiratory diseases. The searched databases included Chinese Electronic Periodicals Services (CEPS) and Chinese Electronic Theses and Dissertations (CETD) from the Chinese Databases of Airiti Library, National Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations in Taiwan, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) Plus with Full Text, Medline, PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), and Google Scholar. The Modified Jadad Scale was used in this study to evaluate the quality of each article. Finally, six articles were selected for article review and analysis, and their Modified Jadad Scale scores ranged mostly from 6.5 to 8, in what were considered to be high-quality studies. The results showed that HFCWO therapy was better than the control group in terms of effective cough and sputum output, that it showed significant improvement in pulmonary infiltration on chest X-ray, increased oxygen saturation concentration, effectively improved the lung functions, and had better tolerability and comfort. HFCWO therapy was found to clear sputum effectively, improve pulmonary infiltration on chest X-ray, increase oxygen saturation concentration, effectively improve lung functions, and enhance comfort. It is recommended that future studies investigate the effectiveness of HFCWO therapy from different aspects to achieve the goals of lung disease treatment. |
