Thoracic squeezing on airway secretion and respiratory parameters in mechanically ventilated patients: An interventional study

The current study's findings concluded that thoracic squeezing before endotracheal and tracheal suctioning enhances secretion removal, oxygen saturation, and respiratory rate without significant changes in heart rate among mechanically ventilated patients. Its notable influence could provide policymakers with valuable insights to make well-informed decisions, focused on improving healthcare systems and outcomes, especially within intensive care units.
