Objectives: To evaluate and compare the effect of Flutter VRP1® and Shaker® on the amount of expectorated pulmonary secretions and on heart rate (HR) and peripheral oxygen saturation (SO2) cardiorespiratory parameters. Method: In this randomized interventional study, 16 patients, aged between 7 and 21 years (12 years±4.11), performed physiotherapy sessions on two different days with both devices. In the first session, participants used one of the devices, according to the randomization. After seven days without intervention, they underwent a second session with the other device. The cardiorespiratory parameters of HR and SO2 were recorded immediately before and after each session on every day of therapy. The collection of pulmonary secretions was conducted during and after therapy to determine the dry and wet weights. Results: There was no difference between the devices as to the wet weight (p=0.589) and dry weight (p=0.719) nor HR and SO2 cardiorespiratory parameters. Conclusion: The devices were similar in relation to the analyzed variables.Downloads
