Introduction[edit | edit source]
Manual hyperinflation also known as manual ventilation or ‘bagging’, is a technique used by respiratory physiotherapists in the management of ventilated patients or patients self-ventilating through a tracheostomy. Manual hyperinflation is used to increase lung volumes and aid secretion clearance when used in conjunction with suctioning[1]. Manual hyperinflation involves the use of a manual resuscitator bag (MRB) connected to oxygen to provide a slow, deep inspiratory breath followed by an inspiratory pause of 1-2 seconds, and a rapid release of the resuscitation bag [2].
Technique[3][edit | edit source]
It's a technique that uses a manual resuscitation bag to deliver tidal volumes (Vt) 100-150 percent larger than baseline Vt and a peak airway pressure of no more than 40 cmH2O while delivering a slow inspiratory flow, followed by an inspiratory hold, and a fast expiratory flow that generates a whirlwind peak expiratory flow.[4]
Mechanism of action[edit | edit source]
To increase volume[edit | edit source]
Manual hyperinflation is used to manage atelectasis The mechanism it is thought to work is by increasing alveolar recruitment. The squeezing of the resuscitation bag increases the baseline tidal volumes during inspiration by approximately 1L [5]. This increase in tidal volume plus inspiratory hold allows time for alveoli and collateral airways to open, thereby increasing lung compliance and reducing atelectasis [6].
For secretion clearance[edit | edit source]
Manual hyperinflation not only increases the tidal volume but the quick release of the resuscitation bag increases the elastic recoil of the lung and therefore increases the expiratory flow rate. The expiratory flow rate is necessary to mobilise secretions.
The mechanism for how this works can be explained by the engineering concept of two-phase gas-liquid flow; moving gas in a tube transfers momentum to the stationary liquid, and occurs when the expiratory flow rate is greater than inspiratory flow rate[7][6][1]. A normal cough generates very high expiratory airflow, which creates mist flow of the secretions to enable them to be expelled from the airways. However, the expiratory flow generated with Manual Hyperinflation is still much slower than a normal cough, and so moves secretions using annular flow instead. Manual Hyperinflation may therefore prevent mucus plugging and associated lobar collapse [8]. The use of a pressure manometer is recommended to ensure this expiratory flow bias [1].
Once the secretions have been mobilised, suctioning is often used to expectorate them from the patient.
Indications[edit | edit source]
- Clearance of retained secretions and mucus plugging[6][7][9]
- Recruitment of areas of atelectasis or collapse[8]
- To improve ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) matching[10]
- To improve lung compliance[8]
- To improve regional lung ventilation[8][10]
- To improve oxygenation[9]
Absolute Contraindications [8][9][10][edit | edit source]
- Undrained pneumothorax[11][10]
- Severe bronchospasm[8]
- Head injury with ICP > 25mmHg[10][11]
- Severe arterial hypotension[11]
- High peak end inspiratory pressure (PEEP) ventilation and PEEP dependency[11]
- Nitric Oxide ventilation[10][11]
- High Frequency Oscillation Ventilation[10]
Relative Contraindications[edit | edit source]
Note: These relative contraindications are for ‘therapeutic’ manual hyperinflation.[1][7][8][9][10][11]
| Cardiovascular (CVS) instability/arrhythmias | Compromised venous return- further increases effort required to maintain adequate tissue perfusion |
| Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) | Increases risk of pneumothorax/barotrauma

| High PEEP (> 10cmH2O) | The break in the circuit will cause loss of PEEP and can de-recruit lung |
| Raised intracranial pressure (ICP) | Increased intrathoracic pressure reduces mean arterial pressure which can compromise cerebral perfusion pressure |

| Recent lung surgery e.g. lobectomy/pneumonectomy | High airway pressure may cause trauma/pneumothorax. Check with surgeons regarding stump pressure. |
| Hypotension (Systolic <80) | Increased positive pressure in thoracic cavity compromises venous return – reduces cardiac output |
| Patients dependent on hypoxic drive | High levels of O2 being delivered/increased PaO2 levels may reduce drive to breathe |
