Airway Clearance Techniques: Coughing
- Effective up to __ generation
- Effective cough: __,__,__
7th generation
sharp, deep, double cough
Phases of an effective cough:
Glottis closes and vocal cords tighten
Abdominal muscles contract; diaphragm elevates -> inc. intra-abdominal and intrathoracic pressures
A. Deep inhalation
B. Breath hold
C. Forceful expiration of air
B
Phases of an effective cough:
Deep inspiration
A. Deep inhalation
B. Breath hold
C. Forceful expiration of air
A
Phases of an effective cough:
Glottis opens
Explosive expiration
A. Deep inhalation
B. Breath hold
C. Forceful expiration of air
C
Strategies for an effective cough except:
A. Patient position: standing are the preferred positions for coughing; modify if needed
B. Demonstrate to the patient proper coughing
C. Feedback: palpate abdominal muscles (introduce muscle contraction during huffing)
D. Practice making “k” sound for closing of glottis
A. Patient position: sitting or leaning forward are the preferred positions for coughing; modify if needed
Identify the Manual-Assisted Coughing
