What this Trial Is About
This study aims to explore the application of Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) in evaluating the effectiveness of OLE (Oscillatory Lung Expansion) airway clearance therapy for ICU patients with pulmonary infections. The goal is to understand the treatment response differences in patients with various causes of atelectasis (lung collapse). The study will include adult patients diagnosed with pulmonary infections and admitted to the ICU. The primary endpoint of the study is the peak cough flow (CPF), which measures the patient's ability to clear secretions from the lungs through coughing.
