CoughAssist Mechanical Insufflator-Exsufflator
CoughAssist is a noninvasive
therapy that safely and consistently removes secretions in patients with
an ineffective ability to cough (peak cough flow <270 l/m).
Typical CoughAssist patients include those
with the following conditions:
- Amyotrophic
lateral sclerosis
- Spinal muscular atrophy
- Muscular dystrophy
- Myasthenia
gravis
- Spinal cord injuries
- Post-polio
CoughAssist
clears secretions by gradually applying a positive pressure to the
airway, then rapidly shifting to negative pressure. The rapid shift in
pressure produces a high expiratory flow, simulating a natural cough.
