These things are really nice, and help a lot of patients from what I have heard. Ideally, for a patient who requires one of those, you should perform IPV prior to the cough assist, and then use the cough assist. I don't do well tolerating the cough assist. I have one, but It's been placed out of service due to intolerance. I have a trach, and am ventilator dependent!
