cough assist machine

[hmw]

Was it this? I remember someone posting about this in the past and don't remember details, but looks familiar to me as what has been posted in the past:

<br>
<br>I know there's another device that is not the same as the vest but goes around the chest and applies pressure/does something to provide therapy. I am not sure what that one is called.

I know the CoughAssist is used more for people who aren't able to cough on their own (i.e. muscular diseases) - which is not the case with us with CF and probably why it is not used for us. The other device the Harriet is talking about (I think) is the Hayek external respirator. It works just like the vest essentially, but I don't think it's available in the US.
