than in adults. Use of cough assist devices together with experienced physiotherapists
can optimise secretion clearance noninvasively in many situations. This means the
combination of eective NIV, secretion clearance and PEG (percutaneous endoscopic
gastrostomy) feeding can oen obviate the need for a tracheostomy in older children
and adults.
The elective or semi-elective progression to a tracheostomy should always be
discussed carefully with the patient, and family/carers wherever possible, outlining
the pros and cons. Advances in tracheostomy management mean that speaking and
feeding are now more feasible, but risk management and the care package required
is by necessity more complex.
The outcome of T-IPPV is largely determined by the underlying condition. Marchese
et al. (2008) showed a median survival of 26 months in COPD patients, which was
even lower than for patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) at a median of
49 months. Hospital readmissions were highest in those with pulmonary disease, but
the tracheostomy complication rate was low at 2.6%.
Patient satisfaction and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) oen depends on the
circumstances in which the tracheostomy is performed. Life satisfaction and quality of
life (QoL) has been shown to be poor in patients in whom tracheostomy was performed
for prolonged weaning diculties aer acute decompensation and was significantly
worse in those with COPD compared to those with NMD. Important determinants
of QoL were the negative impact of T-IPPV on the ability to communicate, mobility,
social contact and autonomy.
However, for patients with slowly progressive NMD, Delorme et al. (2023) showed
good or excellent QoL in around two-thirds of patients on home mechanical ventilation
and, in fact, HRQoL for T-IPPV users was better than for those on NIV. About a third
had received a tracheostomy as an emergency. The dierence here is that this survey

stable survivorship who have progressed well and have adapted to T-IPPV. There is a
further discussion of the use of NIV versus T-IPPV in chapter 13.1 of this Handbook,
‘Noninvasive ventilation’.
The considerations for initiating long-term T-IPPV and discharge home are outlined
in table 2. Planning, skills training of family and carers, and risk management are
essential components of a successful long-term care plan. More detailed accounts are

techniques
Tiina Andersen and Michel Toussaint
Cough as a function
The cough is the body’s strongest physiological reflex. It removes airway secretions
from the central airways and is a crucial element in sustaining a healthy respiratory
system. An eective cough depends on three phases, illustrated in figure 1. If one or
more of the phases is disturbed, the patient’s cough might become weak and they are
at an increased risk of secretion accumulation and complications such as dyspnoea
and pneumonia.
An eective cough has the capacity to clear mucus or debris out of the airways during
a cough eort. It is largely dependent on the magnitude of the cough peak flow (CPF)
generated during the expulsive phase of the cough. In addition, measurements of
FVC, maximal inspiratory pressure (P
can detect a weak cough and guide the clinician to choose a suitable manual or
mechanical cough augmentation technique.

Key points
• In patients with muscular weakness, customised cough techniques are
needed to prevent and treat the accumulation of secretions, as well as
complications like dyspnoea and pneumonia.
• ‘Hypoventilation syndrome’ covers a wide range of subgroups, not all of which
require cough augmentation techniques.
• Cough augmentation is recommended when CPF is <270 L·min−1 and/or FVC
is <50% of the predicted capacity when stable.
• One of the following techniques can be selected, depending on the objective
measurements: MI-E, manually assisted cough, air stacking, LVR or
glossopharyngeal breathing.
• Individualisation of cough augmentation is an important factor of success.

illness can further weaken the patient by decreasing their inspiratory and expiratory
muscle strength, leading to an even more reduced vital capacity and a less eective
cough. Where there is increased production of airway mucus and obstruction in the
airways, additional peripheral airway clearance techniques may be warranted to
mobilise secretions.
Cough augmentation helps most patients with neuromuscular diseases (NMDs).
Techniques that ensure lung recruitment and augment coughing to increase the CPF
are recommended in order to prevent chest infection. In rapidly progressing diseases,
such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the pathological processes may evolve so
quickly that the respiratory management becomes responsive to already-established
pulmonary complications. Early respiratory interventions are therefore beneficial in
these patients.
Cough augmentation can be more challenging in subjects with bulbar innervated
muscular dysfunction, where synchronisation of the glottic movements in a cough
is disturbed. With additionally weakened inspiratory and expiratory muscles, all
of the cough phases become inadequate. In some challenging patients, laryngeal
visualisation during dynamic cough augmentation titration might be useful, where
clinical reasoning alone does not lead to success.
Patients with severe kyphoscoliosis are another challenging subgroup, where the rigid
thorax prevents good chest expansion and reversion, and it is hard to increase the CPF.
Cough augmentation techniques
Cough augmentation techniques should aim to increase either the inspiratory volume
or the expiratory flow depending on the patient’s individual needs. Some of the
manually and mechanically assisted techniques used are described below and are
presented in figures 1 and 2.
Inspiratory support
Cough eectiveness is connected to the deep breath that precedes the cough. If
the patient is unable to take a deep breath, the air stacking technique (repeated
inspirations without breathing out) can be used to assist insuation, with a manual
resuscitator or mechanical device delivering positive pressure. Glossopharyngeal
breathing can also help self-insuation.
Air stacking manually assists inspiration by increasing the inspiratory volume of the
lung to its maximum extent. This results in an enhanced expiratory flow through a
combination of static recoil and expiratory muscle recruitment.
The advantages of air stacking include its low cost and its availability.
Expiratory support
Expiratory support techniques aim to: assist the expiratory muscles that are incapable
of increasing intra-abdominal and intra-thoracic pressure; and/or increase the
expiratory flow generated during the cough manoeuvre.
Expiratory support can be provided either through manually assisted cough (i.e.
the therapist administers thoracoabdominal thrusts that are coordinated with the
patient’s cough eort during the exhalation phase) or through mechanical exsuation
of the lungs. Assistance may also be achieved by a self-induced thrust to the abdomen
from a stationary object such as a table.

Mechanically assisted cough
Mechanical insuation-exsuation (MI-E) is a mechanical technique used to assist
cough by combining both inspiratory and expiratory support. When the patient
inhales, MI-E supports the inspiration by delivering a positive pressure (insuation)
that contributes to better expansion of the lungs. This is followed by a rapid switch
to a negative pressure, supporting the expiration (exsuation) of the patient’s lungs.
These positive and negative pressure swings are applied sequentially, with the aim of
simulating the airflow changes that occur during normal cough, potentially facilitating
secretion clearance. This cyclical process is repeated several times or until secretions
are substantially expelled.
MI-E is considered a safe method for cough clearance. It is much more expensive than
air stacking, and use of the procedure is not reimbursed in all countries. Studies have
not suciently demonstrated the benefits of MI-E in terms of mortality, morbidity
and quality of life. Despite these limitations, most recent and relevant international
guidelines recommend the use of MI-E, supporting the view that ‘absence of evidence
of the eect is not evidence of absence of the eect’.
Individualisation
As the group of patients requiring cough support is heterogeneous, respiratory
physiotherapists can individualise the way the techniques are used (figure 1). The
chosen technique and the way it is used should be both eective and tolerated by the
patient. It is important to build up good chest expansion by using the techniques that
assist inspiration, and to subsequently adjust the expiratory phase of cough support
so that the audible quality of the cough reaches a desired and adequate level.
Respiratory muscles become increasingly weak as diseases progress, meaning more
supportive techniques will be needed compensate (figure 2).
Daily respiratory treatment usually takes place at the patient’s home and is performed
by personal caregivers, according to individually tailored procedures that have been
planned for home use.

Anita K. Simonds
Criteria for long-term oxygen therapy in patients with chronic hypoxaemia due to
COPD and other conditions such as interstitial lung disease (ILD) and cystic fibrosis
are well established. In these situations, the cause of hypoxaemia is primarily oxygen
diusion limitation and a failure of gas exchange.
In alveolar hypoventilation, especially in patients with daytime hypercapnia, oxygen
treatment is not first-line therapy, and may worsen hypercapnia due to suppression of
hypoxic ventilatory drive. A rise in carbon dioxide tension (P
by a reduction in hypoxic vasoconstriction caused by uncontrolled oxygen leading to
ventilation/perfusion mismatch; and the Haldane eect (whereby oxygen induces a
right shi of the carbon dioxide (CO2) dissociation curve, displacing CO2) is also a
contributor to an increase in hypercapnia.

Box 1. Acute indications for additional oxygen therapy in hypoxaemic
patients
Acute indications for oxygen supplementation:
• During an acute chest infection
• During an episode of pulmonary oedema
• For hypoxaemia due to intercurrent illness such as PE, pleural eusion,
pneumothorax
It should be noted that the cause of acute, or acute-on-chronic hypoxaemia
should always be identified and treated. In patients with neuromuscular disease
and reduced cough ecacy, a very common cause of hypoxaemia is an increase in
pulmonary secretions, which should be addressed promptly using physiotherapy and
secretion clearance techniques such as mechanical insuation–exsuation. Clinical
examination and chest radiography will indicate if there is pneumonic consolidation,
pneumothorax, pulmonary oedema or pleural eusion present. A computed
tomography scan should be performed if there is a moderate or high risk of pulmonary
embolism (PE). An increase in IPAP may be required in some situations, e.g. pulmonary
atelectasis, and a small increase in EPAP may aid alveolar recruitment and reduce
work of breathing. However in the presence of a pneumothorax, NIV settings should
be changed with caution, and the need for NIV carefully reviewed. A low threshold for
pneumothorax drainage is advised in patients in whom continued NIV is essential.
Chronic indications
Patients with chronic lung disease as a cause of chronic ventilatory failure (e.g.
COPD, bronchiectasis, ILD) may require supplemental oxygen therapy with NIV
or tracheostomy ventilation due to persisting hypoxaemia. In all cases, ventilatory
settings (particularly IPAP and back-up rate) should be optimised to control P
