5.10 LIAM (insufflation)
5.10.1 Information about the function
LIAM stands for Lung Insufflation Assist Maneuver. LIAM is a pressure-controlled
hyperinsufflation maneuver with the aim of administering an increased tidal volume which
can be used in all ventilation modes except CPAP and SIMV. LIAM can be used to support
coughing or for alveolar recruitment (similar to ventilation on sighing). In the case of
neuromuscular diseases, in particular, LIAM can be useful in expanding both thorax and
lung. With regular use, there can accordingly be a positive impact on the course of vital
capacity.
