High-Frequency Chest Wall Oscillation

High-Frequency Chest Wall Oscillation (HFCWO) is a therapy that uses a special vest connected to a device to help clear mucus from the lungs. When activated, the vest rapidly inflates and deflates, creating gentle vibrations that loosen mucus stuck in the airways. This makes it easier to cough up and clear out, helping improve breathing and prevent lung infections. HFCWO is commonly used for people with lung conditions like cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis, or after certain surgeries, aiding in maintaining healthier lung function.
