Oscillating Lung Expansion (OLE) Therapy in the Bronchiectasis Patients (BE) Home Care Study Protocol
Delve Health
Summary
The study will examine how the performance of Oscillating Lung Expansion (OLE) therapy affects the respiratory health of patients with Bronchiectasis (BE). The patient will use the BiWaze Clear system for their airway clearance therapy, instead of their previously prescribed therapy. BiWaze Clear is an FDA-cleared respiratory therapy for assisting patients in loosening and mobilizing secretions as well as treating and preventing atelectasis by providing lung expansion and high-frequency oscillation therapies, combined with aerosol delivery. The patient will perform airway clearance with BiWaze Clear as prescribed. The system uses a disposable breathing circuit, which is a single patient use, disposable circuit. The treatment duration is 6 months . The BiWaze Clear System is indicated for the mobilization of secretions, lung expansion therapy, the treatment and prevention of pulmonary atelectasis and has the ability to provide supplemental oxygen when used with an oxygen supply.
Description
The BiWaze Clear System is indicated for the mobilization of secretions, lung expansion therapy, the treatment and prevention of pulmonary atelectasis and has the ability to provide supplemental oxygen when used with an oxygen supply. The BiWaze Clear System is indicated to deliver therapy to adults and children over the age of 5 years in the home care setting. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of BiWaze Clear therapy in reducing the frequency of pulmonary exacerbations and improving clinical outcomes. The study will quantify the frequency of pulmonary exace…
