Airway clearance

Airway clearance encompasses various techniques and treatments designed to facilitate the mobilization and removal of mucus from the respiratory tract—particularly for individuals who struggle to expel it due to respiratory or neuromuscular conditions.

Several devices are available to assist in mobilizing and clearing secretions. Vibratory vests generate vibrations that help shift mucus toward the upper airways. Meanwhile, cough-assist devices facilitate the expulsion of secretions by using pressure changes to promote coughing in individuals who have difficulty coughing effectively.

Pneumosfera offers equipment and accessories from various manufacturers for airway clearance—such as vibratory vests and cough-assist devices—as well as guidance on the proper use of these devices based on each patient’s specific needs.
