Abstract
A mechanical ventilation system comprises a mechanical ventilator configured to deliver ventilation to a patient. An electronic controller is programmed to control the mechanical ventilator to perform a mechanical insufflation-exsufflation (MI-E) therapy method including performing a MI-E cycle including: (i) during an insufflation cycle, delivering pressure to the patient at a positive insufflation gauge pressure; (ii) during an exsufflation cycle following step (i), delivering pressure to the patient at a negative exsufflation gauge pressure and detecting whether an upper airway collapse occurs; and (iii) reducing a magnitude of the negative exsufflation gauge pressure if an upper airway collapse is detected in step (ii).
