Figure 1

An example of individual phase duration relationships during a repetitive series of TB coughs. CTI - cough TI , CTE - cough TE (the sum of CTE1 and CTE2), CTTOT - total cough cycle time (the sum of CTI CTE1 and CTE2), CTE1 - cough expiratory subphase E1, CTE2 - cough expiratory subphase E2. Note CTE2 and CTTOT vary by over 100% in the selected cough cycles while CTI and CTE1 change very little. RA EMG- rectus abdominis (expiratory) muscle electromyogram, PS EMG-parasternal (inspiratory) muscle electromyogram.
