Summary

This study examined how a specific airway clearance technique (ELTGOL) changes air distribution in the lungs of people with COPD and healthy individuals. Researchers used a special imaging method to measure lung ventilation while participants lay on their side. The goal was to understand how manual pressure on the chest and abdomen affects breathing, which could help improve respiratory therapy.
