I completely concur with these authors. In addition the potential impact of ventilatory and patient positioning strategy on the movement of airway secretions also deserves attention. Our recent case report (Physiother Res Int. 2014 Jun;19(2):126-8. doi: 10.1002/pri.1563. Epub 2013 Aug 17. Justification for chest physiotherapy during ultra-protective lung ventilation and extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation: a case study.Cork G1, Barrett N, Ntoumenopoulos G.) highlights the potential failings of current recommendations for secretion clearance. The ultra protective ventilator settings combined with head of bed upright positioning may predispose to secretion retention and warrants further investigation.
