It can be done in an active, assisted or patient-controlled manner with a series of steps. It is recommended to do it for two or three times so that secretions can be dragged out effectively.<\/p>\n<p>In patients with neuromuscular pathologies, secretion management is carried out by means of the Cough Assist, also known as a cough aid, which, in collaboration with the prescribing doctor and the physiotherapist, assesses the optimal parameters for increasing pulmonary ventilation, secretion management or in the event of choking.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221; conditional_render=&#8221;%5B%7B%22value_role%22%3A%22administrator%22%7D%5D&#8221; el_class=&#8221;mb-reverse&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;5543&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_rounded&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243; conditional_render=&#8221;%5B%7B%22value_role%22%3A%22administrator%22%7D%5D&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Diagraphagragmatic ventilation exercises&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h3|text_align:left&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]To improve the oxygenation of the organism and increase respiratory function, the physiotherapist can recommend a series of breathing exercises.

Thanks to these devices, the airways are less obstructed and both the drug and the techniques are more effective.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In addition, equipment such as mechanical ventilation and oxygen can also be used for aerobic training in patients with chronic respiratory pathologies to try to maintain or improve activities of daily living and dyspnea.
