Reflex Cough Testing Video Demonstration (for assessment of Chronic Cough)
This video demonstration is of myself (James Curtis, PhD, SLP) facilitating a reflex cough testing chronic cough assessment in Allie Beam, MS, SLP. In this video, we complete both natural cough threshold (NCT) and suppressed cough threshold (SCT) using a continuous breathing technique with nebulized citric acid.
In this video, we present 2-3 trials of multiple different concentrations, moving progressively higher in concentration from 0.01 mol/L of citric acid up to 0.40 mol/L of citric acid, with saline (0.00 mol/L) randomly interspersed. We progress until we identify Allie's NCT, which for this procedure, was defined as the lowest concentration to elicit as a two-cough response on 2/3 trials. For Allie, their NCT was 0.40 mol/L - seen at 10 minutes 30 seconds in the video. At 11 minutes 36 seconds, we then proceed to assess SCT by beginning at one concentration below their NCT, and then moving progressively higher. For Allie, the SCT was also 0.40 mol/L.

In this video I demonstrate how to measure vital capacity using the Baseline Windmill Type Spirometer for SLPs assessing swallowing, cough, and voice. Notably, vital capacity is used low-tech aerodynamic measures of voice production including the Phonation Quotient and Estimated Mean Airflow Rate.

VASES Unofficial Scoring Sheet Overview Review of Anatomic and Temporal Boundaries
I loved this presentation. Provided some clarification on its use. THANKS!
As a SLP who performs FEES, you provided the perfect example of how to conduct this evaluation.....loved how you took the time to explain to the patient what they might experience and the consistencies that will be trialed. Loved how Mrs. Beam kept measurements of each consistency. Questions: it looked like the patient's head position was slightly to the right...yes, if so, did that impact your study? Also, why do you not have the patient use a straw and hold the liquid in her mouth before swallowing? I like that you used the short pill "shot glass" for some liquids.....that helps reduce the patients need to tilt their head back. Love watching this procedure.
In what setting do you do this? Acute, outpatient?
Hi! Great video. What do you bill for this procedure as an SLP? I am in the States, thank you!
Excellent video! You do a great job of making complex material easy to understand.
Excellent presentation! 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 Thanks for sharing 😊
Thank you sharing this!
What is a normal score? Do you have asthma or any run conditions?
A normal score is 400
'promo sm' ✔️
That’s how they decide how much your bill is.
300 feet per second?
Ever wonder why hospitals tell you to use your elbow to open doors but tell you to cough into the bend I to your elbow?
Cuz you can’t touch your face with your elbow dummy
What in Gods name 300 what Psi? OUNCES PER SQUARE INCH what?
2.0 what? Gallons? Dbs? Lbs???? I’m curious what it’s used for now 😅
Thank you for your excellent video James!
Hi James. I am an undergraduate working in a laryngeal lab at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I am going to measure CPP in canine larynges with different glottal gap sizes. I was just curious as to why you changed the default settings for the CPP analysis? What do the updated settings signify?
Are you supposed to cough?
No . But u will anyway in case u have phlegm or an infection in the lungs
I have a question what is considered normal because I keep maxing them out 😅
Excelente!!! 😊
