Abstract

<p>[Purpose] This study investigated the efficacy of chest physical therapy for children hospitalized with acute severe asthma. [Participants and Methods] The study included 20 children with acute severe asthma but without major neurological impairment. The mean age of the children was 2.5 ± 1.3 years. Findings on admission and clinical care were examined. The children were categorized into chest physical therapy and non-chest physical therapy groups, and the evaluation items were compared between the two groups. [Results] No significant intergroup differences were observed in oxygen weaning and length of hospitalization. [Conclusion] These results suggest that chest physical therapy enables neither early oxygen weaning nor early discharge of children hospitalized with acute severe asthma.</p>
