Daily duration of long-term oxygen therapy and risk of hospitalization in oxygen-dependent COPD patients.

abstract：Purpose:Chest physiotherapy is an important tool in the treatment of COPD. Intrapulmonary percussive ventilation (IPV) and high-frequency chest wall oscillation (HFCWO) are techniques designed to create a global percussion of the lung which removes secretions and probably clears the peripheral bronchial tree. We tested...
