Coughassist E70 cough assistant

Secret Management with the Coughassist E70 by Philips Respironics

The Coughassist E70 supports non-invasive and also invasively ventilated patients in the resolution of bronchial secretions, if they can not effectively descend themselves, eg. B. due to neuromuscular diseases or spinal cord injuries.

A cough assistant enables the switching of overprinting, which creates an artificial coughing impact. The fast pressure change creates a high expiratory flow (peakcough flow) from the lungs, which simulates such a coughing impact. To remove secretions for a long time and reduce the risk of disease risk, a cough assistant can be used.

Fields of application

in patients who are unable to cough or the secretions effectively lower, the invasive method of suction is used to clean the respiratory tract. Unfortunately, invasive methods can be very uncomfortable for the patient and are associated with complications such as hypoxia, tissue damage and infections.
Coughassist E70 is an effective and remarkably gentle non-invasive alternative for use in hospitals and domestic care. When therapy with the Coughassist, the secretions occurring in the airways are removed for a long time and with fewer complications than in the tracheal suction.
It is clinically proven that therapy with the Coughassist becomes an increase in Peak Cough Flow and one Reduction of the disease risk for recurring respiratory tract infections.
The integrated COUGH trak supports titration to the device and synchronization with the patient for more comfort and better compliance. Adjustable oscillation levels improve the mucus release and increase the benefits of therapy. Coughassist E70 offers three customizable presets for therapy to meet different conditions or circumstances after dismissing the patient from the hospital.
