Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  COLD CHEST PACK  cold chest packs are administered to research participants. Patients must stay in either a supine or sitting posture for the duration of the intervention. The cold chest pack, which is made of a cotton fabric that is 2.5 meters long and .5 meters broad, should be loosely wrapped up, soaked in water that is between 58°F - 62 °F, and then wrung out without unrolling. The wet bandage must be applied in the same way at every site to fit securely and keep out air. It will be used to cover the front and rear of the chest. After 30 minutes, the cold chest pack was removed.

ExclusionCriteria 
Details  Unknown source of hemoptysis [since forced expiration may make the underlying problem worse].
Pneumothorax

Aneurysms in the thorax, abdomen, or brain that run the risk of rupturing due to elevated thoracic pressure.
Recent surgery of the thorax or abdomen.
Presence of acute disease process that might interfere with the test performance [e.g. nausea, vomiting].
