The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of using PED (Pulmonary Expansion Device) in tracheostomized patients requiring lung reexpansion therapy within a single institution. The main question it aims to answer is: In tracheostomized patients requiring lung reexpansion therapy, does the utilization of PED (Pulmonary Expansion Device) alongside conventional management constitute a safe and effective strategy for improving oxygenation, lung volumes, and reducing postoperative pulmonary complications, as compared to traditional management alone? Researchers will compare lung expansion therapy with PED plus conventional management versus lung expansion therapy through conventional management in tracheostomized patients to assess the safety and efficacy in terms of improvement in oxygenation, lung volumes, and reduction of postoperative pulmonary complications.
