Abstract
Impaired mucus clearance or mucus hypersecretion are
important feature of many pathological respiratory
conditions and in ICU patients. Mesna is a potent mucolytic
available as 200 mg/ml solution for neublization and
endotracheopulmonary instillation. As effective “mucus
clearance” is critical in managing post-operative and other
ICU conditions to prevent complications like atelectasis and
hypoxia, there is a need to review the clinical results of
mucolytic agent Mesna, and its role in mucociliary clearance
in critical care patients and in other respiratory conditions.
