One of the main challenges in patients with respiratory failure (RF) is to ensure effective functioning of an important defense mechanism of the respiratory system - mucociliary clearance (MCC). MCC is characterized by the upward movement of mucus by ciliary motion. The target of the protective function of MCC is to remove dust particles and pathological microorganisms through the vibrational of the cilia.
