Figure 4 Schematic representation of different phases of cough: Inspiratory, compressive, and expiratory phases. During a cough, the vocal cords also move through these phases, where they are open during the inspiratory and expiratory phases, while they are closed during the compressive phase. Expiratory phase, the audible part of the cough, is further segmented into explosive, intermediate, and voiced phases[34,85].
