In the absence of contraindications, the LVR bag should be introduced when the PCF is &lt; 270 L/min. Cough-Trak is a feature in the Automatic mode that will synchronize inhalation with patient effort. This is the Cough-Trak feature. The aim of this systematic review is to examine the benefit/risk ratio of the use of mechanical insufflation-exsufflation (MI-E) devices for airway clearance in patients with neuromuscular diseases. There are some contraindications and precautions for assisted cough, as it is a forceful technique. It effectively clears retained bronchopulmonary secretions, reducing the risk of respiratory complications ( 37 ). •complete care of the patient with nms disease requires measures to assist in lung volume recruitment and secretion clearance. • Place the heel of the hand midway between the two points.
