Pediatric palliative care (PPC) is a set of actions aimed at children who suffer from a severe or life-threatening disease to alleviate the symptoms of the disease and improve the quality of life of both the child and his/her family. One of the tools used to control symptoms is physiotherapy; however, its application in the child population has not been thoroughly studied. The main objective of this study was to gather, analyze, and critically evaluate the available scientific evidence on physiotherapy in children who require palliative care through a systematic review of the studies published in the last 10 years in the following databases: PubMed, Cochrane Library, PEDro, CINAHL, and Scopus. Of a total of 622 studies, the inclusion criteria were only met by seven articles, which were focused on the relationship between physiotherapy and PPC. This study analyzed: (1) the main pathologies treated, with a predominance of cerebral palsy and cancer; (2) the interventions applied, such as respiratory physiotherapy, neurological physiotherapy, therapeutic massage, and virtual reality; (3) the effects achieved in the child and his/her family, highlighting the control of symptoms and the improvement of the quality of life; and (4) the knowledge of the physiotherapists on PPC, observing that most of the professionals had not received training in this scope. The findings of this review indicate a lack of an adequate evidence foundation for physiotherapy in PPC.

Introduction. Airway clearance techniques are an essential part of routine respiratory physiotherapy, enabling bronchial secretion clearance—the mucus overproduction and retaining results in lung function deterioration and disrupts effective pulmonary rehabilitation. Several mucus clearance methods are included in the physiotherapy daily routine of patients with chronic lung conditions; nevertheless, new techniques and approaches are continuously developed. Aim. Thus, this systematic review summarizes novel airway clearance techniques applied in patients with chronic pulmonary conditions. Material and methods. The PubMed, Cochrane Library, and PEDro databases were searched from 2010 to 2021, and studies were selected based on eligibility criteria. Analysis of the literature. 101 patients from five studies describing four different techniques were included. Novel techniques were non-invasive ventilation, intrapulmonary percussive ventilation, trachea vibration, and PEP-sound wave combination. Significant improvements were noted for ventilation homogeneity (NIV), saturation (NIV), respiratory rate (IPV), and diffusion capacity (VL), whereas cardiovascular function and exercise endurance did not change significantly. Conclusion. The presented methods are considered to have similar effectiveness as well-known airway clearance techniques. However, the systematic use of presented methods in routine pulmonary rehabilitation must be preceded by in-depth investigation to provide no-bias results.

Abstract Introduction: Neonatal respiratory physicaltherapy plays an important role in prevention and treatment of respiratory pathologies. In preterm neonates, immaturity of respiratory system can let development of various respiratory diseases. Meanwhile, it is discussed if respiratory physiotherapy can cause pain. Objective: Investigate presence of pain in neonates undergone to respiratory physiotherapy by a systematic review. Methods: Scientific search in electronic databases: Medline, Lilacs, Bireme, PEDro, Pubmed, Scielo and Capes thesis and dissertations base. Portuguese, English and Spanish, publication year from 2000 to 2012. Results: Thriteen studies were included, but one of them was excluded due to fulltext unavaiable. Therefore, twelve articles were included, nine (81,8%) confirm pain in newborn (NB), from these, in eight (72,7%) intervention was suction and in only one vibrocompression. Four articles studied term and premature newborns. Mechanical ventilatory assistance was used in seven of the studies analyzed. Conclusion: Results suggest that suction and vibrocompression were pain causers in NB. However, evidenced the necessity of well delineated methods to evaluate if physicaltherapy techniques can cause pain in neonates.
