Functional magnetic nerve stimulation : the development of a method of generation of explosive expiratory flows in the intubated patient through abdominal muscle stimulation
A voluntary cough is an explosive expiratory manoeuvre where the larynx is closed during the early expiratory phase. Subsequent opening of the larynx generates high peak flows to facilitate the removal of mucus and inhaled material from the large airways. The objective of the thesis was to explore t...
