Important Information
shifts to supply negative exsufflatory pressure (Exhale) with the intended
goal of rapidly deflating the lungs to simulate a high expiratory flow
which stimulates an effective cough. After exhale, the system moves into a
paused state and maintains a positive pressure flow to the patient, if
programed. This is referred to as Positive Airway Pressure on Pause (PAP).
An optional Sigh stage can also be included after the therapy to inflate the
patient’s lungs after the last exhale of the therapy.
