Noise Exposure From High-Flow Nasal Cannula Oxygen Therapy: A Bench Study on Noise Reduction.

abstract：:Although some clinicians still believe that cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease is largely due to hypersecretion of very viscous mucus, it has never been demonstrated that there is mucus hypersecretion in CF and it is clear that there is almost no intact mucin (the principal polymeric component of normal mucus) in CF sp...
