Concept
A protective reflex act
clean excessive secretion & foreign material
Initiated by miscellaneous stimuli or by voluntary exertion.
The most common respiratory symptom.
Severe cough is a serious clinical problem.

Cough reflex
Afferent inform.from: larynx, trachea, bifurcation of the bronchi
Irritant type: mechanical, chemical, inflammation
Afferent fibers are in the vague nerve
cough center.

Cough reflex
Efferent signals larynx, muscles of diaphragm, chest
wall, abdomen A coordinated series of movement com
plete the cough. Deep inspiration – expiration effort with glottis closed- glottis open abruptly – high volocity of airflow brings out screations from airways.

Influencing factors
Suppressed afferent or efferent nerve function
Failed glottis function (laryngopharynx dis) Diminished muscle force Obstructed airway seen in severe COPD Trachea intubation Chest or abdominal pain limit cough moveme

hemoptysis
Bleeding below the level of the larynx that being coughed out
Degrees: from blood-tinged sputum to massive gross blood, even leading to airway occlusion (apnea ) & shock. The latter is much less seen.
![Page 17: Cough and expectoration](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/5681581b550346895dc58132/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Common causes
Infectious respiratory disease: TB, bronchiactesis, bronchitis
Neoplasm: Cardiovascular disease: MS, PE, PAH,
deformity of blood vessle Other less seen disease leading to hem
optysis.
