Using a vibroacoustic lung device for respiratory failure in older patients with hip fracture

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Patients with hip fracture and acute respiratory failure will receive vibroacoustic pulmonary therapy delivered by a trained clinician, who will also collect blood samples. Participants are assigned to receive the device in one of two modes ('Pneumonia' or 'Prevention') with sessions 4–6 times per day, five minutes each, for five days. The device emitters are applied to the affected lung areas and the portable design allows treatment of ventilated or immobile patients without their active participation. A similar treatment algorithm is used in both groups and standard medical care is continued per local protocol.
