How soon after trache surgery can you use cough assist?

[Inventor]

The surgery was three days ago and now I am coming up with pneumonia. Before the surgery I consulted a doctor who specializes in breath paralysis patients and he did not see why the cough assist could not be used even right after the surgery. Unfortunately that doctor is out of town and the neuros have banned the use of the machine. I wonder if there is any reference I could use to persuade the docs to permit gentle cough assistin. Getting real tough to breathe and I know that would bring immediate relief.

Immediately. Your neuro doesn't know what he/she is talking about. Get the pulmonologist from the hospital to set the neuro straight.
