| Huff cough | stimulates a natural cough reflex and is generally effective only for clearing central airways. While exhaling, the patient opens the glottis by saying the word huff. With practice he or she inhales more air and is able to progress to the cascade cough. |
| Quad cough | for patients without abdominal muscle control (e.g., spinal cord injuries). While the patient breathes out with a maximal expiratory effort, the patient or nurse pushes inward and upward on the abdominal muscles toward the diaphragm, causing the cough. |

| Hyperemia (normal) | Blanchable: Redness of the skin caused by dilation of the superficial capillaries. When pressure is applied to the skin, the area blanches, or turns a lighter color. |
| Onset | Time it takes after a medication is administered for it to produce a response |
