The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical outcome and safety of flutter mucus clearance devices.
Respiratory diseases are still increasing in elder population. Sputum detaining is a common contributing factor to acute exacerbation. The fluttering mucus clearance technique is expected to be a physical assisting therapy enhancing airway secretion clearance but need more clinical randomized control trial evidence.
