Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
mucus properties (viscosity, elasticity, solids content)[pre-intervention, during intervention, immediately post-intervention and 20 minutes post-intervention];respiratory flow rates (peak expiratory flow rate, peak inspiratory flow rate, ratio between peak expiratory:peak inspiratory flow rate)[pre-intervention, during intervention and 20 minutes post-intervention]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
subjective ease of expectoration, measured on a 10cm visual analogue scale[pre-intervention, during intervention, immediately post-intervention, 20 minutes post-intervention];subjective feeling of lung congestion, measured on a 10cm visual analogue scale[pre-intervention, immediately post-intervention and 20 minutes post-intervention];lung function using spirometry[pre-intervention, 20 minutes post-intervention]
