Popis: INTRODUCTION High-frequency chest compression (HFCC) is used for airway clearance, but may have other effects. We sought to determine if HFCC provides augmented ventilation. METHODS During treatment, capnometry was measured with the HFCC vest set to 6-20 Hz. End-tidal CO2 (etCO2 ) was compared using generalized estimating equations. RESULTS Twenty-four measurements were obtained from 15 subjects with mean age 15.2 ± 2.5 years and forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1 ) % predicted 70 ± 23. EtCO2 decreased with HFCC at 6 Hz when compared with baseline (P
