Effect of Assisted Autogenic Drainage In Children Suffering From Pneumonia - a Quasi Experimental Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Assistive autogenic Drainage for Pneumonia Childhood. Completed, enrolled 60 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Quasi experimental study with duration will be of 6 month, data will be collected from Fauji Foundation Hospital, Rawalpindi. Sample size was calculated from open epi tool (2017) was n=60. Non probability convenient type of sampling technique is used. Children suffering from pneumonia between the ages 5-15 years with class III \& IV on pneumonia severity index. Both genders are included under study. Patients on 2nd \& 3rd generation anti-biotic therapy for pneumonia are included in the study. Children with musculoskeletal disorders, neuromuscular disorders, cardiovascular co-morbidities and children with diagnosed lobular pneumonia will be excluded. Self-structured questionnaire will be used which includes the demographics, Pneumonia Severity Index, type of Assistive Breathing devices/ Litre of Oxygen support, Vitals, Atrial blood gases(ABG's), Chest X rays and Pediatric Early Warning Sign-Respiratory system.

Interventions
Assistive autogenic Drainage : All the 3 components of Autogenic drainage was given passively to the patients. By placing the hands on the child's chest, the therapist manually increases the expiratory flow to achieve the different lung volume breathing.
