Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This monocentric, randomized crossover study aims to assess the impact of high-flow tracheal therapy (HFT) on the rheological properties of tracheobronchopulmonary secretions in tracheostomized patients. The primary objective is to compare the viscoelastic characteristics of secretions collected with and without HFT. Secondary objectives include evaluating the effects of HFT on dyspnea, patient comfort, and secretion appearance. The study will take place at Cliniques Universitaires Saint-Luc, with adult tracheostomized patients undergoing standard care.
