Unreferenced date November 2010 Smoker s cough is a kind of cough seen especially in smokers. Any irritant present in the respiratory system may trigger cough however, smoker s cough develops as a consequence of phlegm buildup in the Vertebrate trachea trachea . Cause In the trachea, the walls are lined with cilia , small hair like projections that protrude from the tracheal epithelium . They move in a synchronous wavelike motion, thereby moving foreign bodies trapped in phlegm upwards towards the oropharynx , so they may be swallowed. Cigarette smoke disables or paralyzes these cilia, so the only way that phlegm can be removed is via coughing. Some smokers can get a more persistent cough over time. This cough can bring up phlegm which can be become close to green in color and can start building up as soon as the weather changes or when body exposed to the cold.

The cough reflex has both sensory afferent and motor efferent components. Pulmonary irritant receptors cough receptors in the epithelium of the respiratory tract are sensitive to both mechanical and chemical stimuli. Stimulation of the cough receptors by dust or other foreign particles produces a cough, which is necessary to remove the foreign material from the respiratory tract before it reaches the lungs . The cough receptors, or rapidly adapting irritant receptors are located mainly on the posterior wall of the Vertebrate trachea trachea , pharynx , and at the main carina, the point where the trachea branches into the main bronchi. The receptors are less abundant in the distal airways, and absent beyond the respiratory bronchioles . When triggered, impulses travel via the internal laryngeal nerve , a branch of the superior laryngeal nerve which stems from the vagus nerve CN X , to the medulla of the brain. This is the afferent neural pathway. Unlike other areas responsible for involuntary actions like swallowing, there is no clearly identifiable area that can be labeled as the cough center in the brain. The efferent neural pathway then follows, with relevant signals transmitted back from the cerebral cortex and medulla via the vagus and superior laryngeal nerves to the glottis, external intercostals, diaphragm, and other major inspiratory and expiratory muscles. The mechanism of a cough is as follows Thoracic diaphragm Diaphragm innervated by phrenic nerve and external intercostal ... nerve supplying the ear may also elicit a cough.

Cough CPR is a resuscitation technique described in an email that began circulating around 1999, in which by coughing and deep breathing every 2 seconds a person suffering a cardiac arrhythmia immediately before cardiac arrest can supposedly keep conscious until help arrives or until the person can get to the nearest hospital . Cough CPR is most likely a lay interpretation of a Vagal Maneuver . A vagal maneuver is a technique where a person bears down as if trying to forcefully pass wind to stimulate the vagus nerve. This is helpful in cases when a person experiences a dysrhythmia such as Supraventricular Tachycardia SVT . The vagal nerve stimulation sometimes can slow down the rapid heart rate and convert SVT back to a normal sinus rhythm. Although the vagal maneuver is in fact taught to doctors, nurses and paramedics, this widely circulated email confuses the difference between a myocardial infarction heart attack and a cardiac arrest and cardiac dysrhythmia. Cough CPR is supposedly intended only for imminent cardiac arrest, yet it would be impossible for anyone to know if cardiac arrest was imminent. The American Heart Association does not endorse cough CPR during a heart attack. ref 1 . This confusion appears to revolve primarily over the public s failure to discriminate between ... or disturbance of the heart s electrical system. Cough CPR is intended not for a heart attack ....
