New treatment option for Atelectasis
Official title The Effect of Oscillation and Lung Expansion (OLE) Therapy in Prolonged Mechanical Ventilated Patients With Atelectasis Evaluated in Multiple Methods
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07451405
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- High frequency chest wall oscillation (HFCWO) is currently one of the most common and widespread mechanical airway clearance techniques (ACTs) in clinical practice in China. As an external airway oscillation technique, it has been proven in previous clinical practices that it can help clear secretions by vibrating the chest wall, loosening the secretions adhering to the airway walls and promoting ciliary movement, thereby improving lung ventilation and re-expansion.
