Summary

This trial compares two medical devices to see which is better at clearing airway secretions and improving health.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with difficulty clearing airway secretions after being on a breathing machine. They must have specific scores indicating they need help with secretion clearance and can follow instructions. Pregnant individuals or those unable to breathe deeply enough are excluded.
What is being tested?
The study is testing two devices designed to help clear mucus from the airways: one creates high-frequency vibrations, while the other has lower frequency. The goal is to see which device works better at helping patients clear their airways.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include discomfort in the chest due to vibration, coughing as secretions loosen, fatigue from the effort of using the devices, and possibly shortness of breath if not used correctly.
