Reply To: What is a caugh assist machine
cough assist is a machine that helps you create a deeper more effective cough. much better than Ambu bag method and easier to do yourself.
you use a mask and hold it too nose/mouth. and it encourages the cough.
No operation.
the link below is for physios so cant log in but it shows a decent pic of someone using such a machine. nice small machine too I have only ever seen older huger models.
