Comparison of a Hyperinflation Mode and Air Stacking on Neuromuscular Patients Under Volumetric Ventilation (TWOTECH)

The purpose of the study is to compare the the efficacy and tolerance of 2 cough assistance techniques requiring no equipment other than the volumetric fan. The two methods are air-stacking and hyperinflation .

The study is a Cross-over, monocentric and open label study
