Device typeIn-exsufflator: A portable, pneumatic, device that, through a rapid shift in pressure via a face mask, produces a high expiratory flow rate from the lungs, simulating a cough. This technique is referred to as EWNP (exsufflation with negative pressure) or mechanical insufflation-exsufflation. This device is suitable for any patient with an ineffective cough due to, e.g., muscular disorders or paralysis and would typically be used to clear retained broncho-pulmonary secretions, reducing the risk of respiratory complications.
