Abstract
Purpose: This study was conducted to find out response of mechanically ventilated patients to bronchial hygiene. Subjects: Forty patients aged from 40-50 years from both sex{u2019}s 15 women and 25 men divided into two groups with equal numbers. Material: study group received chest physiotherapy in form of postural drainage, percussion, vibration, manual assisted cough and suction from day one of mechanical ventilation until weaning from ventilation. While control group received chest physiotherapy in form of postural drainage, percussion, vibration and suction. Arterial blood gasses (PaO2, PaCO2, HCO3, PH and SO2) and blood pressure and heart ratewere taken pre-treatment and post-treatment.Results: There was significant difference between both groups post treatment in all variables. There was significant difference inPaO2 (P<0.0001), SO2 (P<0.0001), PaCO2 (P<0.0001), HCO3 (P<0.001), PH (P<0.0001), and HR (P<0.0001), but there was non-significant level in Blood Pressure (p=0.288) for the study group, While for the control group, there was non-significant difference in HR (P=0.757) Conclusion: There was response of mechanically ventilated patients to bronchial hygiene
