    High-frequency chest wall compression (HFCWC) effectively clears mucus from both peripheral and central airways in dogs. Moderate pressures ensure safety, enhancing mucus clearance without adverse effects.

    Area of Science:

    • Respiratory Physiology
    • Pulmonary Medicine
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Mucus accumulation impairs lung function and increases infection risk.
    • Effective airway clearance techniques are crucial for managing respiratory conditions.
    • High-frequency chest wall compression (HFCWC) is a non-invasive method for augmenting mucus clearance.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of HFCWC in enhancing peripheral and tracheal mucus clearance in a canine model.
    • To determine the optimal pressure parameters for HFCWC to maximize mucus clearance while minimizing adverse effects.
    • To assess the safety profile of HFCWC in spontaneously breathing, anesthetized dogs.

    Main Methods:

    • Anesthetized spontaneously breathing dogs were subjected to HFCWC using an oscillating thoracic cuff.

  • Regional lung mucus clearance was quantified using technetium-99m sulfur colloid aerosol and gamma camera imaging.
  • Tracheal mucus clearance rate (TMCR) was assessed via bronchoscopic visualization of marker particle transport.
  • Different HFCWC frequencies and cuff pressures (Pcuff) were tested across three experimental phases.

    • Main Results:

    • HFCWC significantly improved peripheral mucus clearance index (PMCI) in regions under the cuff.
    • Tracheal mucus clearance rate (TMCR) enhancement plateaued at a Pcuff of 50 cmH2O.
    • Moderate HFCWC pressures (50-60 cmH2O) enhanced PMCI without causing subpleural hemorrhage.
    • Positive correlations were observed between enhanced PMCI and TMCR.

    Conclusions:

    • HFCWC is an effective method for improving both peripheral and central airway mucus clearance in dogs.
    • Application of moderate pressures during HFCWC ensures safety and efficacy.
    • These findings support the potential clinical utility of HFCWC in managing conditions with impaired mucus clearance.
