Expert opinions on a lung clearance device for ICU patients
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study gathers expert opinions from healthcare professionals about using a device called MI-E to help clear airways in critically ill patients. If you are a clinician with experience in this area, your input could help shape future guidelines.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study asks healthcare professionals about their experiences and practices when removing patients from mechanical ventilation (breathing machines) in intensive care units. Your insights help improve how doctors and nurses safely manage this critical care procedure.
This study tests a method to improve lung function during chest physical therapy for patients on a breathing machine. It may help clear mucus and make breathing easier.
This trial tests if a special machine (mechanical insufflation-exsufflation) can help remove thick mucus from the lungs of patients who are on a breathing tube and ventilator. The goal is to see if optimized settings clear more mucus than standard care.
This study compares a mechanical device that helps clear mucus from the lungs to a hands-on chest therapy for hospitalized adults aged 60 and older who have trouble coughing. The goal is to see which method works better for removing congestion and improving breathing.
This study tests whether a coaching feature helps children learn to use a device called mechanical in-exsufflation (MI-E), which helps clear mucus from the lungs. The trial is split into two parts: one for healthy children and one for children with neuromuscular diseases.
This study tests a device called Simeox to help people with bronchiectasis clear mucus from their lungs more easily. It may be an option if you have a daily cough with mucus and are already using airway clearance therapy.
