cough augmentation techniques
the lung volume recruitment maneuver via MV was applied with assistant of the attended physician as follows: Use pressure-controlled ventilation and increase end-inspiratory volume (30 or 40 cm H2O for 30 to 40 seconds unless contraindicated) or inspiratory hold for 30 to 40 seconds to promote cough effectiveness. The patient serially inhales a volume of gas without exhalation until maximum insufflation capacity via the ventilator to facilitate breath-holding (if not contraindicated).
