CONCLUSIONS
Low-quality evidence might suggest that respiratory therapy using a high frequency chest compression vest does not show differences in the number of exacerbations, hospitalizations, lung volume and capacity when compared with other respiratory therapy modalities, such as positive expiratory pressure or conventional respiratory therapy in patients with cystic fibrosis.
Most clinical practice guidelines surveyed consider the high frequency chest compressor vest as a treatment alternative for patients with cystic fibrosis; however they do not consider that any of the respiratory devices is better than the other.
The United States and United Kingdom public and private sponsors surveyed cover this technology for patients with cystic fibrosis who have failed to other respiratory therapy modalities and with specific indications by the treating team and who have failed to the other therapeutic alternatives. The Latin American public health sponsors surveyed do not mention this technology in their coverage plan.
No studies assessing the cost-effectiveness of high frequency chest compression vests have been found for patients with cystic fibrosis in Argentina.
