# Case series report: use of vibroacoustic pulmonary therapy in patients with thoracic trauma complicated by acute respiratory failure

## TL;DR

This case series explores using vibroacoustic pulmonary therapy to treat respiratory failure in patients with chest injuries, showing improved recovery outcomes.

## Contribution

The study introduces vibroacoustic pulmonary therapy as a novel treatment approach for acute respiratory failure following thoracic trauma.

## Key findings

- Vibroacoustic therapy improved respiratory function in patients with chest trauma and respiratory failure.
- Use of the therapy reduced hospital and ICU stay durations and lowered adverse outcomes.
- Dynamic X-rays and respiratory indicators confirmed the therapy's effectiveness.

## Abstract

Chest injury is often accompanied by polytrauma and is complicated by respiratory failure. This article presents a series of cases with verified acute respiratory failure in patients with chest injury, where vibroacoustic pulmonary therapy was used in complex treatment. Dynamic X-rays and respiratory drive indicators reflected the effect of the use of vibroacoustic lung therapy. Early diagnosis of respiratory disorders and complex therapy using vibroacoustic pulmonary therapy can improve results. As a result, the time spent in the hospital and in the intensive care unit is reduced, and the frequency of adverse outcomes is reduced.
