Abstract : Background: Bronchial hygiene therapy has the potential to improve cystic fibrosis and bronchiectasis. Neuromuscular degenerative disorders (such as ALS and muscular dystrophy), postoperative complications (such as pneumonia), respiratory disorders (such as asthma and chronic bronchitis), cerebral palsy, and mechanical ventilation are among the over a hundred conditions linked to impaired airway clearance Mechanically ventilated patients also have changes in the vital parameters due to the construction of arteries, but this subtly depends on the condition of the patients.  Materials and Methods: Quasi-experimental approach design was used. A study was conducted with 30 patients with mechanically ventilated.15 patients were experimental group and 15 patients with control groups. Assessment tool were used clinical parameters observational scale.  Results: From the finding of the study, it can be concluded that to compare the efficacy of the control and experimental groups, as measured by post test score on clinical parameters, an unpaired t-test was computed. Compared to the table value of 2.05, the unpaired t-test total score of 4.53 was high. Clinical indicators among mechanically ventilated patients showed that bronchial hygiene treatment was more successful than control group.  Conclusion: From this study, it can be concluded that the highest percentage of patients were in age group of 20 to 30 years. Most of them were females, mode of ventilation were SIMV. Highly significant effectiveness was found between pretest and posttest score. Therefore, Bronchial hygiene therapy was used as an effective method to improve the patient among mechanically ventilated patients.
