Summary

This trial tests whether cough augmentation techniques — using the ventilator to increase lung volume and promote coughing — can help critically ill, intubated patients successfully wean off mechanical ventilation. The study includes 88 adult patients of both sexes, excluding those with facial trauma or a tracheostomy tube. The main goal is to see if these techniques lead to successful extubation.
