Pneumonia kills annually about 2 millions of children aged less than 5
years to be the main cause of death at this age group. Pneumonia is treated by antibiotics,
oxygen and techniques for releasing secretions as Chest Physical Therapy (CPT). For
children, CPT includes essentially postural drainage, percussion and vibration.
This study aimed to study effect of chest physical therapy on respiratory
status among children with pneumonia.
