The Vest for delivering high-frequency chest wall oscillation in people with complex neurological needs

Patient comments

The carers of 3 children (aged 7, 11 and 13) with complex neurological needs who have been using The Vest 2 to 3 times a day for more than a year gave feedback on their experiences. Two carers commented that it was easy to use. When they do chest wall percussion, they are not always sure they are doing it correctly; using The Vest gave them greater confidence. Carers stated 2 children experienced fewer chest infections and 1 needed fewer antibiotics. Two also had fewer hospital admissions.
