Saline mist and warm air for lung clearance
This study tests if breathing in a salty mist with warm, moist air can help clear mucus from the lungs. It's for people with healthy lungs to see how well it works.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether continuously breathing in a fine mist of salt water combined with warm, moist air helps make thick lung secretions easier to clear. You'd be hospitalized and have a lung condition that causes lots of mucus buildup.
This trial studies whether inhaling hypertonic (very salty) saline helps treat nodular-bronchiectatic lung disease caused by Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC). It may help reduce ongoing infection and symptoms if you have the right type of MAC lung pattern and have not recently started the usual MAC treatments.
This trial tests if washing the infected fluid in the chest with salt water (saline) early on helps treat complicated lung infections better than the usual care. It may improve recovery and reduce the need for surgery.
This trial tests a device that helps clear mucus from the lungs using a combination of gentle suction and a saltwater mist. Doctors want to see if this can help people on breathing tubes recover faster from hospital-acquired lung infections.
This study tests whether a mist of salt water (3% hypertonic saline) helps babies with bronchiolitis breathe easier compared to a standard salt water mist. It aims to find a simple, safe way to treat this common lung infection in infants.
This trial tests whether breathing salt water vapor through a home nebulizer machine helps people with a specific type of lung infection (nontuberculous mycobacteria). The goal is to see if this simple treatment can improve breathing and reduce symptoms.
