AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Intubated patients (with and without mechanical ventilator support) with secretion 1.5 ml/h, If the patients are breathing with mechanical ventilation, the PEEP level must be less than 6 centimeter of water and one of following
* Clinical and radiologic diagnosis of pulmonary infection
* Acute or chronic airway inflammation disease such as pneumonia, bronchiectasis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or chronic bronchitis and at least one sign of secretion accumulation in bronchial such as medium-coarse crackle, wheezing, persistent rhonchi and decrease breath sound
* Stable of cardiopulmonary function at least 2 days before the study and the patients don't receive the vasopressors drug within 5 days before collects the data
* Stable of hydration status or positive fluid balance at least 2 days before collects the data
* Ability to breathe or tolerate spontaneously breathing trial with T-piece at least 2 minutes with fraction of inspired oxygen less than 0.4 and without developing hypoxemia
* Good conscious and well cooperation
Exclusion Criteria:
* Pneumothorax (nontreated)
* Massive hemoptysis
* Acute myocardial infarction (with angina chest pain)
* High intracranial pressure (\>20 mm Hg)
* Major arrhythmia
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
change from baseline in secretion wet weight (gram) between 3 hours before and after breathing exercise program
Timeframe: the secretion will be collected between 3 hours before start breathing exercise program and 3 hours after end of breathing exercise program in each day
