cough assist

Does anyone know if the cough assist is a different machine than the breathing machine my brother uses now? I know there is a suction machine that is used with the cough assist . And is there a portable breathing machine or suction for travel? Thank you.

Dear all, My mom has been having a very difficult time with mucus accumulating at the back of her throat and not being able to swallow or get it out. She uses a cough assist once a day which she hates. A suction machine helps a little but not as much as we hoped to. For medication, she takes...
