The ability to cough is essential to a healthy airway. The airway linings produce mucus which trap dirt and bacteria. This mixture of mucus, dirt and bacteria can be harmful if allowed to accumulate. Coughing is the body's way of clearing mucus form the lungs and airways. Many respiratory diseases cripple the body's ability to cough by weakening the muscles in the rib cage, neck and abdomen.

This weakened condition hampers the ability of your body to remove secretions, increasing the chance of respiratory infections. If coughing becomes to difficult for patients, doctors often prescribe the use of Mechanical Coughing Therapy. The Philips Cough Assist T70 is a mechanical insufflation-exsufflation device that simulates natural coughing by gradually delivering a large volume of air to your lungs. The process of breathing in constitutes positive pressure, followed by a negative pressure of quickly breathing out or coughing helps remove the mucus secretions trapped in your airways. The Respironics Cough Assist T70 enhances your cough to produce a more effective clearing of your airways.

The addition of the Cough-Trak allows you to synchronize treatment with your own breathing patterns.

Learn About the In's and Out's of the Respironics Cough Assist
How does the Cough Assist work?
Using a process called mechanical insufflation-exsufflation, the device gradually applies a positive pressure to the airway followed by a rapid shift to negative pressure. This rapid shift produces a high expiratory flow from the lungs, simulating a cough. The technique avoids airway damage and offers an alternative to an invasive procedure while still offering patients greater comfort and quality of life.

What conditions does the Device treat?
The cough assist machine has been proven effective for patients with an insufficient ability to cough due to:
  • Poliomyelitis
  • Muscular Dystrophy
  • Spinal Muscular Atrophy
  • Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
  • Myasthenia Gravis
  • Guillain-Barre Syndrome
  • Multiple Sclerosis
  • Or any other neurological disorder with some paralysis of the respiratory muscles, such as a spinal cord injury
