Summary

Background Mechanical assistance cough for patients with neuromuscular disorders (NMD) are known, but there is no adaptation model established. Currently is performed subjectively by the physiotherapist following the pressures recommended in the current literature as optimal (±40CmH2O). To check is these pressures are the most optimal pressures to achieve the better peak cough flow (PCF) monitoring cough assist (Mechanical insuffllation-exsuflattion MI-E) maneuvers and analyzing pressure- flow / time curves

Adults with MI-E criteria (PCFbaseline \<160 l /min). A pneumotachograph, PeakAnalysis software and nasobucal mask were used to monitor and analyze flow/time curves. Protocol included 9 PCF values in each patient: 1 baseline, 4 related with inspiratory pressure in sequential increase of 10 cmH2O (10 to 40 cmH2O) and 4 adding expiratory pressures (±10 to ±40cmH2O)
