Dentice 2012

Methods

Randomised, cross‐over trial with concealed allocation, intention‐to‐treat analysis and blinded assessors; investigating the impact of timing of hypertonic saline inhalation in relation to airway clearance techniques. The inhalation blocks were for one day. The three treatments of the allocated timing regimen were performed on each of the three trial days, with no washout day.

Participants

50 adults (mean age 31 years, SD 10, range 18 ‐ 64 years) with a confirmed diagnosis of cystic fibrosis who were clinically stable with an FEV₁ within 10% of the best recorded value in the last 6 months. This trial excluded people who were hypertonic saline naïve or previously intolerant, a lung transplant recipient, colonised with Burkholderia cepacia complex, not clinically stable, haemoptysis greater than 60 mL within the last month, thrombocytopenia or pregnancy.

Interventions

4 mL of 6% hypertonic saline was nebulised via an LC Star nebuliser 3 times per day with the allocated timing regimen for that day. Hypertonic saline was nebulised immediately before or after airway clearance or during (with blocks of inhalation and pauses for airway clearance). The airway clearance technique was optimised for each participant on recruitment to the trial and was standardised for all 3 trial days.

Outcomes

The primary outcome was the change in FEV₁ and FVC (in litres and percentage of the predicted value) recorded prior to and two hours following the middle treatment session of each trial day. Symptom scores at the end of each intervention arm were also recorded: perceived effectiveness, tolerability and satisfaction rated on a 100 mm visual analogue scale. Adverse events and adherence were also recorded.

Notes

PEDro Score: 8/10 [Eligibility criteria: yes; random allocation: yes; concealed allocation: yes; baseline comparability: yes; blind participants: no; blind therapists: no; blind assessors: yes; adequate follow up: yes; intention‐to‐treat analysis: yes; Between‐group comparisons: yes; point estimates and variability: yes.

Methods

Randomised, cross‐over trial with concealed allocation, intention to treat analysis and blinded assessors; investigating the impact of timing of hypertonic saline inhalation in relation to airway clearance techniques. The inhalation blocks were for one day. The two treatment days that contributed data to this review involved single treatment of 30 minutes with differing timing of hypertonic saline in relation to physiotherapy airway clearance techniques (i.e. hypertonic saline before or during autogenic drainage). The other day was solely autogenic drainage and did not include hypertonic saline inhalation, so it is not discussed further in this review.

Participants

13 hospitalised participants who were over 14 years (mean age 27 years, range 18 ‐ 37 years). All were productive daily and performed autogenic drainage for their airway clearance. The lung function of participants was not stated but some were noted to be on oxygen therapy. One participant withdrew and outcome data was not included in analysis.

Interventions

4 mL of 6% hypertonic saline before or during 30 minutes of autogenic drainage. The type of nebuliser and use of co‐interventions were not reported.

Outcomes

Outcomes included change in dyspnoea scores at the conclusion of each intervention arm, wet weight of sputum in grams produced during the treatment session, and adverse events and adherence.

Notes

PEDro Score: 8/10 [Eligibility criteria: yes; random allocation: yes; concealed allocation: yes; baseline comparability: yes; blind participants: no; blind therapists: no; blind assessors: yes; adequate follow up: yes; intention‐to‐treat analysis: yes; between‐group comparisons: yes; point estimates and variability: yes.

Methods

Randomised cross‐over trial. The physiotherapist collecting the outcome measures was blinded.

Participants

14 adults with CF recruited, 13 completed the trial (mean (SD) age 33 years (12), FEV₁% predicted 51 (22), LCI (no. turnovers) 14 (4)).

Interventions

ACTs after HTS inhalation or ACTs during HTS inhalation on alternate days. Between days 10 – 14 of intravenous antibiotic course during a pulmonary exacerbation. ACT treatment consisted of 10 cycles of active cycle of breathing technique using an Acapella®.

Outcomes

Participants completed a multiple breath washout (MBW) test to obtain LCI and spirometry (FEV₁) at baseline and 90 min post treatment. Sputum collection during 90 min, ease of clearance and satisfaction with treatment was also recorded. Wilcoxon test was used and P < 0.05 was considered significant.
