Chest physiotherapy (GF), which constitutes the most effective part of the physiotherapy programs applied to intensive care patients under mechanical ventilation (MV) support, consists of a series of techniques aimed at clearing airway secretions, facilitating appropriate lung ventilation by increasing lung volume and respiratory muscle strength, and improving the respiratory system and gas exchange. . Of these techniques, manually applied percussion vibration and expiratory rib cage compression (EGCC) are some of the most commonly applied GF techniques in patients on MV support. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of chest physiotherapy techniques applied before aspiration on vital signs, blood gas values and amount of secretion in patients on mechanical ventilation support., conditionsModule conditions: Patient Involvement, designModule studyType: INTERVENTIONAL, phases: NA, designInfo allocation: RANDOMIZED, interventionModel: PARALLEL, interventionModelDescription: The randomization of this study was performed by a statistical expert independent of the study, using the computer-assisted Random Allocation Rule method, which is one of the random assignment methods (http://biostatapps.inonu.edu.tr/RAY/).78 patients to be included in the study were divided into 3 groups and assigned an equal number of patients in each group according to the results of the random assignment method. In order to assign patients to research groups impartially, the research groups determined were written on papers and group assignments were made by drawing lots. Thus, the number of individuals in the groups and the probability of each patient included in the study being in either of the experimental or control groups were equalized., primaryPurpose: SUPPORTIVE_CARE, maskingInfo masking: SINGLE, whoMasked: PARTICIPANT, enrollmentInfo count: 78, type: ACTUAL, armsInterventionsModule interventions name: expiratory rib cage compression, interventions name: percussion vibration, outcomesModule primaryOutcomes measure: The effect of percussion vibration on the amount of secretion, primaryOutcomes measure: Effect of expiratory rib cage compression on the amount of secretion, primaryOutcomes measure: Effect of percussion vibration on blood gas parameters, primaryOutcomes measure: Effect of expiratory rib cage compression on blood gas parameters, primaryOutcomes measure: Perküsyon vibrasyonun yaşam bulgularına etkisi, primaryOutcomes measure: Effect of expiratory rib cage compression on vital signs, eligibilityModule sex: ALL, minimumAge: 18 Years, stdAges: ADULT, stdAges: OLDER_ADULT, contactsLocationsModule locations facility: Tunceli State Hospital, city: Tunceli, zip: 62000, country: Turkey, geoPoint lat: 39.09921, lon: 39.54351, hasResults: False
