Assisted Cough

 

Assisted cough helps you cough. You need help coughing due to weakened cough muscles. You are not able to cough up mucous on your own. Using assisted cough can help you cough more strongly. 

Assisted cough can be done by:

  • Medical staff

  • Trained family members

  • Patients themselves

A member of your rehab team will teach you how to do an assisted cough.
