I had a bad bout of bronchitis (on nebulizer) in 1998.  All I needed was a knowledgeable person to assist me with the quad cough and could find no one.    So it took a couple weeks to cough up the gunk that gurgled there day after day.  One day I somehow coughed hard enough and my episode wa

This is what we vent users use. http://www.jhemerson.com/coughassist.htm You don't need to be on a vent to use it though. It's just more common with vent users because we often have no diaphragm movement. A good option for someone like yourself would be the assisted cough. It works awesome
