Greater exsufflation pressures than insufflation pressures, together with a shorterinsufflation time than exsufflated time, were used and were used to promote increased cough peak flow (CPF) in conjunction with a cough.
Airway Clearance With an Optimized Mechanical Insufflation-Exsufflation Maneuver

The optimized MI-E maneuver, applied with slow insufflation, resulted in a higher expiratory flow bias, which made the therapy more effective at moving mucus outward, compared with the standard MI- E maneuver, typically applied with fast insufflated.
Mechanical in-Exsufflation Improves the Breathing Pattern in Patients with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Changes in breathing pattern parameters resulting in an increased ribcage tidal volume, and decreased breathing rate are shown, which may help to improve lung volume recruitment and optimize gas exchanges within the alveoli.

The current scientific evidence does not support the use of MI-E for cough augmentation in patients with neuromuscular diseases, but health-care professionals are faced with the reality of medical practice and the absence of alternatives.
