Estrategias terapéuticas para aumentar la eficacia de la tos en pacientes con enfermedades neuromusculares

Cough is a natural reflex that protects respiratory airways against infections or mucus retention. Cough maintains an adequate cleaning of the airways and is a mainstay of respiratory therapy. It can be triggered voluntarily by the patient or by a specific cough device. Peak cough flow (PCF) is used...
