Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: (1) Age = 18 years ; (2) Mechanically ventilated patients with an established artificial airway (endotracheal intubation or tracheotomy) who are expected to be mechanically ventilated for at least 3 days; (3) Stable haemodynamic and respiratory function 24 hours after admission, and meeting the following criteria: ? Heart rate >40 beats/min or <120 beats/min; and ? Systolic blood pressure (SBP) =90 mmHg or =180 mmHg, or/and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) =110 mmHg, and mean arterial pressure (MBP) =65 mmHg or =110 mmHg; ? Respiratory rate =25 breaths/min; oxygen saturation =90%, mechanical ventilation inspired oxygen concentration (FIO2) =60% , positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) =10 cmH2O; ? Support with low-dose vasoactive drugs, dopamine =10 ug/(kg-mi) or norepinephrine/epinephrine =0.1 ug/(kg-min); (4) Presence of impaired airway clearance [6,7] with one of the following conditions: ? Ciliary mucus system impairment and changes in the nature of the mucus, such as the presence of chronic airway diseases (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchial asthma, diffuse panuberculous bronchitis, bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis, etc.), lung parenchymal injuries (pneumonia, ARDS, etc.), interstitial lung diseases (interstitial fibrosis, etc.), congenital chronic airway diseases (primary cilium dyskinesia, etc.), infections (bacterial infections, viral infection, fungal infection, etc.); ? Altered airway resistance, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic bronchitis, bronchial asthma, etc; ? Cough dysfunction or impairment, such as the use of anaesthesia, sedation, analgesia, muscarinic drugs, the presence of neuromuscular diseases (Guillain-Barré syndrome, myasthenia gravis, myotonic dystrophy, lateral sclerosis syndrome of the spinal cord, Parkinson's disease, ICU-acquired debilitation, etc.), cerebrovascular disease (stroke, craniocerebral injuries, etc.), surgical procedures (abdominal, lumbar spine surgery, etc.); (5) The subject or his/her legal representative has signed an informed consent form.
