spirometry tube and hoffing

I use the plastic whiteish clear ones that come with disposable nebulizers. Sometimes I cut them in half so I have more. They seem to disappear easily. And sometimes I temporarily stop using because it's tempting to exhale too hard through the tube. I vacillate but they are good to have around to help keep glottis open during exhalation.

Ah, many thanks Scoop. That is smart. I will check. I think hoffing correctly is so crucial for a good airway clearance. The tube will make sure I am doing it right. Once I have muscle memory, I may not need it any more. But like you said it is a good idea to keep them around.
Thanks again.
