While HFCWO is highly effective, it does have some limitations:
Cost: The devices can be expensive, and not all insurance plans cover them. Compliance: Ensuring that children adhere to the therapy can be challenging, particularly if they find the vest uncomfortable or the sessions too long. Training: Proper training is essential for effective use, and this requires time and effort from both healthcare providers and families.
Despite these challenges, the benefits often outweigh the drawbacks, particularly for children with severe pulmonary conditions.
