RECRUITINGsecretion wet weight (gram)
Airway mucus secretion was collected for three hours before and ten hours after treatment based on an auditory airway secretion sound and collected again at 02.00-07.00 am.The mucus secretion was collected by sterile suctioning technique via tracheostomy tube without adding any saline or sterile water.
Time frame: Three hours before, ten hours after treatment and night-time (02.00-07.00 am.)
viscosity of secretion
The secretion were collected in three hours before and after treatment, It were measured viscosity by First The mucus was gently homogenized by tissue grinder 5 ml (Cw11-205, Cowie, UK) for six minute at 37 degree celsius Second using Micro-Oswald viscometers with a capillary diameter of 0.77 mm for viscosity measure at same temperature in each sample(before and after).
Time frame: Three hours before and after treatment
Heart rate (beat/min)
Heart rate was monitored before, during and immediate after breathing exercise with BreatheMAX (6-10 beats/set, 10 set/day and rest between ste for 1 minute)
Time frame: Before, during breathing exercise with device and immediate after treatment
Oxygen saturation (%SpO2)
Oxygen saturation was monitored before, during and immediate after breathing exercise with BreatheMAX (6-10 beats/set, 10 set/day and rest between set for 1 minute)
Time frame: Before, during breathing exercise with device and immediate after treatment
Respiratory rate (times/min)
Respiratory rate was measured by manual for 1 minute before, rest interval between set and immediate after breathing exercise with device (during the patients reconnection mechanical ventilation)
Time frame: In rest interval between set (1 minute)
