Qualitative investigation reports parental experiences with home mechanical insufflation-exsufflation, highlighting the daily demands of airway clearance for children with ineffective cough.
A mechanical insufflation-exsufflation (MI-E) device is a commonly used tool for airway clearance in children with an ineffective cough. Whereas the device has been shown to have multiple benefits, limited evidence exists regarding parents' experiences with its home use in the Canadian context. This study's objective was to explore the perspectives and experiences of parents who receive service through the IWK Health Centre and use an MI-E device at home with their child.
