Effect of intrapulmonary percussive ventilation on mucus clearance in duchenne muscular dystrophy patients: a preliminary report.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Most heat-and-moisture exchangers (HMEs) for patients with tracheostomy and spontaneously breathing are small and have suction ports that allow some expiratory gas to escape, which loses water vapor held in the expired gas. Recently, a heated-and-humidified high-flow system for spontaneously breathing patien...
