COUGH
Is an explosive expiration that provides a
normal protective mechanism for clearing
the tracheobronchial tree of secretions
and foreign materials.

MECHANISM
Coughing
Intiated either voluntary or reflexively by both
Efferent and afferent pathways
Start with a deep inspiration, glottic closure,
relaxation diaphragm
Marked positive intrathoracic
pressure
Glottis open, there is a
rapid flow rates
Shearing force develop

• one of the most common complaints for w/c the
patient seek medical attention.
• Important factor in the spreading of infection, a
symptoms of underlying dse or a distressing
problem itself.

2 Categories
• 1. ACUTE – lasting less than 3 wks.
• 2. CHONIC – lasting 3 wks or more.

• Proper management is to identify the underlyingdisorder.
• Thorough history and physical examination to helpdetermine the most likely etiology.
Include:
Neonatal History
Feeding History
History of Foreign body aspiration
Family History of TB
Immunization Status (BCG, DPT)
Medication given, noting the dosage, durationof treatment, degree of compliance and
response.

Clinical Issues
1. Is the chest x-ray normal?
• If normal further work up for
possible etiology.• In children, asthma, PNDS and
GERD are the most common cause
of chronic cough.
• Two local studies showed that
asthma and PNDS from sinusitis or
allergic rhinitis were common
etiology of chronic cough

• In foreign studies, aberrant
innominate artery, GERD, and cough-variant asathma were common in
children 0-18 months old, sinusitis
and cva in 1.5 -6years old, and cva,
psychogenic cough and sinusitis inchildren 6 yrs – 16 yrs

Clinical Issue
2. Is wheezing present?
• Asthma is the most common cause of
persistent cough in children.
• In one study, it turned out that the mostcommon cause of chronic cough on
children was cough – variant asthma, where
it presented w/ persistent cough but
without wheezing.
• 75%w/ chronic cough has c-v-asthma and
54% of these will develop into classical
asthma

Associated with trigger factor
• exercise
• Nocturnal occurence
• Seasonal and episodic attacts
• Personal and family hx of asthma
PROBABLE DIAGNOSIS OF ASTHMA
8/3/2019 Clinical Practice Guideline on Chronic Cough
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/clinical-practice-guideline-on-chronic-cough 13/47
Is peak flow meter available and
feasible?
• Referral to an asthma specialist is
imperative in the ff. situations:
diagnosis of asthma needs to be confirmed
by spirometry
Peak flow measurements are normal in an
asthma suspect(>80%)
Peak flow measurements are below normal
and responds to B2 agonist is equivocal
(>20% inc. after B2 agonist)
There is poor response to therapeutic trial
8/3/2019 Clinical Practice Guideline on Chronic Cough

SPIROMETRY
• Initial test for asthma suspects
• Is usually feasible in children from 5yrs old
8/3/2019 Clinical Practice Guideline on Chronic Cough
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/clinical-practice-guideline-on-chronic-cough 15/47
PEAK FLOW METER
• Measure peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR)
which correlate well with FEV1 and offer
an acceptable alternative to assess
response to exercise challenge and peak
flow variability.
• The predictive normal PEFR for FilipinoChildren bet. 6 -17 yo w/ the height of at
least 100cm can be calculated using:
Males: (Ht in cm-100) 5+175
Female: (Ht in cm-100) 5+170
• When PEFR val. is abn or <80% of
predicted, the change or inc in PEFR val. Is
observed after B2 agonist.
• An inc of 20% will support a dx of asthma.
8/3/2019 Clinical Practice Guideline on Chronic Cough
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/clinical-practice-guideline-on-chronic-cough 16/47
Is the PEFR normal or below
predicted val and is there a >20%
inc. in PEFR after inhaled B2
agonist ?
• In the asthma suspected whose
baseline PEFR is normal or
whose baseline is <80% of
predicted val., a >20% inc. in
PEFR after inhaled B2 agonist
supports the diagnosis of asthma.

Therapeutic trial with
B2 agonist with or
without oral steroids• Peak flow meter is not available
• After administration of short
acting inhaled or nebulized B2agonist, improvement of
expiratory airflow and relief of
the sx seen w/n 5 min andpeaks in 60 min.
• Oral form 30 min and peaks to
2-3hrs

once patient is diagnosed to
have persistent asthma.• Patient was labeled to have

Emphasize asthma education
• Aviodance of asthma triggers
• Peak flow monitoring
• Keep a diary of sx
• Proper and prompt use of
medication
• Prompt management of acute
exacerbations at home or
school
• Using asthma action plan

Is there expiratory stridor?
• Stridor may be produced byaspiration symdrome or by any
anatomical or dynamic problem
of the airways
• Predisposition to recurrent
respiratory infections
8/3/2019 Clinical Practice Guideline on Chronic Cough
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/clinical-practice-guideline-on-chronic-cough 25/47
Tracheomalacia
• A congenital conditioncharacterized by floppiness or
weakness of the wall of the
airway, presents as expiratory
stridor
• Noise produced during
expiration because most
trachea is intrathoracically
located
• Usually resolved w/n 18-24 mos
