Implemental Flutter Mucus Clearance Devices on Geriatric Lung Function

Implemental Flutter Mucus Clearance Devices on Geriatric Lung Function

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical outcome and safety of flutter mucus clearance devices in elders of gerocomium.

Respiratory diseases are still increasing in the elderly population. The fluttering mucus clearance technique is expected to be a physical assisting therapy enhancing airway secretion clearance but needs more clinical randomized, controlled trial evidence.

Inclusion Criteria:

• available to perform the device, the elders in geracomium
• male and female
• aging 85 years or more

Exclusion Criteria:

• not available to perform the procedure
• untreated pneumothorax
• diffusion interstitial lung disease
• acute coronary syndrome
• third stage hypertension
• advanced cancer
• severe heart, liver, renal, blood system and endocrine system dysfunction
• noninvasive mechanical ventilation
• active hemoptysis
