ABSTRACT

Introduction The bronchiolar pathology and bronchial trachea are particularly frequent in pediatric environment. Nowadays, the respiratory physiotherapy is more and more prescribed by the pediatricians,that is why it always remains a current issue. The purpose of this study is to compare the efficiency of the respiratory physiotherapy, and the respiratory physiotherapy associated with nebulization in those pathologies. Materials and methods This forward-looking study was realized from 1st September 2016 to 1st February 2017. This study concerns 200 patients, who are 1 month to 3 years old sent for respiratory physiotherapy. Four series are compared, in the first series, the patients benefited from a physiotherapy treatment only. In the second, we associated respiratory physiotherapy and nebulization with the saline solution. In the third, we associated a respiratory physiotherapy and a nebulization with Salbutamol. In the fourth, beside the respiratory physiotherapy, we gave the patients Salbutamol in a form of spray. Results The reduction of the respiratory frequency was essentially observed in the 3rd session. A clear reduction of the bronchial congestion was noticed in all the series at the end of the sessions. The thixotropy was modified in a notable way in the series 2 and 3; the same observations are made as for the aspect of secretions; as well as a decrease of the abundance of secretions is noted in all the series. Conclusion The association of the respiratory physiotherapy and nebulization in Salbutamol showed a beneficial effect in the bronchiolar pathology and trachea-bronchial of the infant and the little child.
