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.
Who can take part
- You are a healthcare professional working in critical care, lung medicine, anesthesia, respiratory therapy, or physical therapy.
- You have at least 5 years of clinical experience in your field.
- You have used or studied the MI-E device (a machine that helps cough and clear lungs) in seriously ill patients.
- You are willing to fill out a series of online surveys (called Delphi rounds) and complete them in English.
- You can provide informed consent to participate.

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 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 two breathing devices that help open the lungs and clear mucus. It uses a special monitor to see how well the lungs respond, which may help patients who need extra help breathing.
This study checks a device approach that helps move mucus out of the lungs in people with neuromuscular (nerve/muscle) conditions and weak breathing. It may help reduce mucus buildup and lower respiratory infections, but you must meet specific breathing and stability requirements.
This study compares two ways to help hospitalized older adults clear mucus from their lungs: a mechanical device that helps you cough (called a mechanical in-exsufflator) versus a manual chest physiotherapy technique. The goal is to see which method is better at improving breathing and clearing chest congestion.
