Abstract
Intrapulmonary percussive ventilation (IPV) is a therapeutic method of smallvolume highrate airflow delivery into the airways ('percussion'). IPV allows involving small airways in the breathing (alveolar recruitment) that provides better drainage of the airways. Currently, IPV is a preferable method for treatment of lung atelectasis irrespectively of its origin. A clinical case of 75year old outpatient female with the right middlelobe atelectasis complicating communityacquired pneumonia is reported in this article. The effect of the treatment was confirmed by computed tomography.
This case demonstrates that IPV is a safe, simple and effective therapeutic method for patients with lung diseases which could additionally reduce treatment cost.
