Furosemide can affect respiratory mucus either directly through inhibition of the NaK Cl 2 co-transporter on the basolateral surface of airway epithelium or indirectly through increased diuresis and dehydration. We investigated the physical properties and transportability of respiratory mucus obtained from 26 patients under MV distributed in two groups furosemide n 12 and control n 14 . Mucus collection was done at 0 1 2 3 and 4 hours. The rheological properties of mucus were studied with a microrheometer and in vitro mucociliary transport MCT frog palate contact angle CA and cough clearance CC simulated cough machine were measured. After the administration of furosemide MCT decreased by 17 19 24 11 18 16 and 18 13 at 1 2 3 and 4 hours respectively P compared with control. In contrast no significant changes were observed in the control group. The remaining parameters did not change significantly in either group. Our results support the .
