Intrapulmonary Percussive Ventilation (IPV) will show greater improvements in Forced Expiatory Volume in 1 second (FEV1) shorter duration of stay, and greater time to next pulmonary exacerbation in pediatric Cystic Fibrosis patients admitted for pulmonary exacerbation. FEV1 is a measurement of obstruction in the airway which is seen to be elevated in CF patients with worsening lung disease. FEV1 is used as a primary endpoint in pulmonary trials because it is an acute indicator of worsening or improving lung function.
