Ventilator Hyperinflation Versus Manual Chest Compression and Airway Clearance in Mechanically Ventilated Patients
VHI was noninferior to MCC in promoting airway clearance and offers additional advantages, including enhanced flow dynamics and reduced physical strain on physiotherapists. These findings suggest that VHI may be a practical, safe, and efficient alternative for airway clearance therapy in critically ill, mechanically ventilated patients.
