This video demonstrates the seated Assisted Cough technique, which combines breath stacking with a manual stomach thrust to clear mucus for wheelchair users. It covers essential safety setup—such as locking wheels against a wall—and outlines the coordination required between the user and assistant to maximize cough pressure. Participants will also learn to identify successful signs of airway clearance and recognize critical contraindications like pregnancy or low blood pressure.
