Abstract

Despite widespread practice, very little high-level evidence dealing with paediatric chest physiotherapy (CPT) and endotracheal (ET) suctioning exists. Studies of mechanically ventilated paediatric, neonatal, and adult patients have shown that both interventions may cause a range of potentially serious complications.
