Study design: A prospective, randomized crossover trial. Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of the combination of incentive spirometry with oscillation (OIS) and positive expiratory pressure with oscillation (OPEP) to promote secretion clearance in intubated patients with cervical spinal cord injury. Setting: Spinal cord unit, tertiary care hospital, North East Thailand. Methods: Thirteen intubated patients (C4-7, AIS score C) with secretion retention performed three interventions randomly allocated on consecutive days, a Sham deep breathing, OPEP and OPEP OIS breathing exercise. Secretions were collected by sterile suction for 3 h before, and 3 h after, each intervention and wet weight recorded. Cardiopulmonary parameters were measured before and after each intervention. Results: The median (IQR) secretion wet weight pre-intervention was 2.61 g (2.21, 3.85) and in the 3 h after Sham there was an increase of 1.97 g (0.6, 3.6). The increase after OPEP was 2.67 g (1.7, 3.9) and after OPEP OIS, 4.28 g (2.4, 6.7); all the increases being significant (p <= 0.007). The clearance after OPEP and OPEP + OIS were both greater than Sham while OPEP + OIS was greater than OPEP (p <= 0.019). There were no significant changes in cardiopulmonary measures following any intervention or when compared between interventions. Conclusions: Deep breathing with an oscillated and humidified air flow in a combination of OIS + OPEP more than doubled secretion clearance and was more effective than OPEP or Sham deep breathing. There were no adverse effects of the procedures which were well tolerated by the patients and may be used to complement existing methods for secretion clearance.
