About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical outcome and safety of flutter mucus clearance devices.

Read the detailed description

Respiratory diseases are still increasing in elder population. Sputum detaining is a common contributing factor to acute exacerbation. The fluttering mucus clearance technique is expected to be a physical assisting therapy enhancing airway secretion clearance but need more clinical randomized control trial evidence.
