    within 7 days

Study Arms (2)

Interventional group

EXPERIMENTAL

the experimental group receive the cough augmentation techniques

Other: cough augmentation techniques

conventional group

NO INTERVENTION

receive the routine care in the unit

Interventions

the lung volume recruitment maneuver via MV was applied with assistant of the attended physician as follows: Use pressure-controlled ventilation and increase end-inspiratory volume (30 or 40 cm H2O for 30 to 40 seconds unless contraindicated) or inspiratory hold for 30 to 40 seconds to promote cough effectiveness. The patient serially inhales a volume of gas without exhalation until maximum insufflation capacity via the ventilator to facilitate breath-holding (if not contraindicated).
