Summary

This study brings together 30 healthcare experts from around the world to agree on the best ways to use a machine called Mechanical Insufflation-Exsufflation (MI-E) in intensive care units (ICUs). The machine helps clear mucus from the lungs of patients who cannot cough effectively. Currently, there are no standard guidelines for its use in critically ill patients, leading to inconsistent care. The goal is to create expert-based recommendations to improve safety and effectiveness.
