The accumulation of tracheal secretions is frequently due to the reluctance of a postoperative patient in severe pain to aggravate the pain by coughing. The intermittent instillation of a saponifying agent through an indwelling catheter inserted percutaneously has proved to be effective in clearing pulmonary secretions by producing a strong reflex cough. Complications with this technique were few. It is not painful and can be done quickly and easily. The Bardic Deseret Intracath unit, although devised for intravenous infusion therapy, is admirably suited to this technique.
气管分泌物的积聚常常是由于术后剧痛的患者不愿因咳嗽而加重疼痛所致。经皮插入留置导管间歇性滴注一种皂化剂，已证明通过引发强烈的反射性咳嗽来清除肺部分泌物是有效的。该技术的并发症很少。它不会引起疼痛，而且能够快速简便地完成。巴迪克·德塞雷特体内导管装置尽管是为静脉输液治疗设计的，但却非常适合这项技术。
