Summary
This study looks at whether adding a continuous saltwater mist to warm, humidified air can make thick lung mucus easier to clear. 35 adults hospitalized with lung conditions like COPD or cystic fibrosis will receive both treatments on separate days. Researchers will measure mucus thickness and stickiness, and also ask about comfort and breathing ease.
