In COPD patients with chronic bronchitis, it is aimed to determine whether the broncho muco cleaner balloon dilation method can provide clinical and functional benefit by causing destruction in hyperplasic goblet cells in the bronchial system. Although 2 studies have been published on this subject before, one of them is a retrospective design and the other is a pilot study consisting of only 10 patients . Therefore, it is clear that it should be supported by a controlled prospective study with more patients. Within the scope of the research, broncho muco cleaner balloon dilatation treatment will be performed with fiberoptic bronchoscope under general anesthesia in chronic bronchitis-predominant COPD cases, and the effectiveness and reliability of the procedure will be evaluated.

The endotracheal tube will be passed with a bronchoscope. During the procedure, the product is connected to the oxygen jack in the hospital, inflated and deflated, turning the thickened goblet cell layer that causes sputum production to foamy liquid. For the procedure, it will be entered through the intubation tube with a fiberoptic bronchoscope, and the airways with a diameter of 3 to 8 mm, primarily the airways, and all the respiratory tract mucosa that can be reached will be treated with a balloon in a total of 3 sessions. For these procedures, balloons selected in accordance with the diameter of the bronchi will be used in the respiratory tract. In patients who meet the patient selection criteria, intervention will be made with a balloon that inflates and deflates at the determined frequency and pressure from the subsegment level that can be reached with the bronchoscope to the inner surface of the airways proximally.

Detection of Execerbations
COPD Exacerbation (COPD Exacerbation) is one of the most important problems of COPD patients and includes the risk of mortality and mirdit. It is expected that the number of exacerbations of the patients will decrease with the broncho muco cleaner balloon treatment. The number and severity of exacerbations (mild, moderate, severe) at each visit of the patient will be noted to assess the effect of treatment on exacerbations.
