[CPAP interest in help of mucus clearance in tracheo-bronchomalacia outpatients]

The patients suffering of trachea bronchial dyskinesia in a context of trachea bronchomalacia present an important decrease of the expiratory flow during the Forced Expiration Techniques, and during the cough, returning difficult mucus clearance. The use of CPAP for these patients as a pneumatic prothesis can bring a considerable help during the chest physiotherapy techniques, avoiding the tracheobronchial collapse. The objectivation of the efficiency of this technique through a clinical case, its ease of application and control, allows us to propose the attempt of this additive help when the indication and the contraindications are clearly defined.
