New breathing device could slash hospital stays for disabled kids

Summary
This study tests whether using a special breathing device called intrapulmonary percussive ventilation (IPV) at home can prevent hospital stays for children with multiple disabilities. About 146 children aged 1 to 16 will be randomly assigned to either standard chest therapy alone or standard therapy plus IPV used by caregivers five times a week. The goal is to see if the device reduces the number of times children need to be readmitted for breathing problems.
