Abstract Background The down-regulation of the cough reflex in patients with
aspiration pneumonia can involve both cortical facilitatory pathways for cough
and medullary reflex pathways. In order to study the possible involvement of the
supramedullary system in the down-regulation of cough reflex, we evaluated the
urge-to-cough in patients with aspiration pneumonia. Methods Cough reflex

Caroline E Wright, Jennifer Jackson, Rachel L Thompson, Alyn H Morice
Protocols measuring cough sensitivity can vary in terms of nebuliser, tussive
agent, single and dose response. A definitive method for measuring cough
sensitivity needs to be established. The ERS guidelines recommend the KoKo
DigiDoser (KD) delivery system. Study aim, was to compare the reproducibility of
this citric acid (CA) cough challenge and previously established Mefar dosimeter
(MD) protoco... hiện toàn bộ
