When is an airway patent?
when trachea, bronchi and large airways are free from obstructions
How is cough evectiveness evaluated by?
sputum expectoration, report of swallowed sputm, and clear lung sounds
Cascade Cough
slow deep breath and hold for 2 sec, cough during exhalation
Huff Cough
when exhaling ct opens glottis and says huff
What does the huff cough do?
stim. nat. cough reflex only clears central airways
Quad Cough?
while breathing out ct or nurse pushes in and up and abd mus. to cause cough
When do you use the Quad cough tech?
when you have a ct w/o abd muscle control
What does the cascade cough do?
promotes airway clearance and patent airway
