Cough Test
The coughs should be marked with two cough markers. The first cough marker
should be placed at the onset of the cough. The second cough marker should
be placed at the end of the cough.
Normally the markers are already placed during the investigation. You can
reposition the cough markers or insert new cough markers if coughs are not
marked during the investigation.
The cough results are displayed in three tables:
•
Resting pressure
•
Maximum cough pressure
•
Relative cough pressure
Results for up to eight channels are displayed and averaged. In the result
selection, the user can select which of these tables should be included
in the results.
Resting pressure
The resting pressure is the pressure at the cough begin marker.
Maximum pressure
The maximum cough pressure is calculated as the maximum pressure
between the two cough markers.
Relative pressure
The cough pressure (i.e., the pressure increment during cough) is calculated
as the maximum cough pressure minus the minimal base pressure at one of
the cough markers.
9.5.9
Push Test
The strains should be marked with two push markers. The first push marker
should be placed at the beginning of the strain. The second push marker
should be placed at the end of the strain. Normally, the push markers are
already placed during the investigation. You can reposition these markers or
insert new push markers if strains are not marked during the investigation.
