I do not know what a "cough prevention machine" is, but it is an interesting picture.

Assuming she has Parkinsons .....

Carbidopa/levodopa is also now available via a dopamine intestinal infusion pump (DUOPA™), which provides 16 continuous hours of carbidopa and levodopa for motor symptoms. The small, portable infusion pump delivers carbidopa and levodopa directly into the small intestine. In a clinical trial, the amount of “on” time without troublesome dyskinesia was better in the pump group when compared to the placebo group (4.1 vs. 2.2 hours). One of the major drawbacks to the pump approach is the need for a percutaneous gatrojejunostomy (a small feeding tube). These types of tubes can be the starting locations for infections and other complications.

Duopa is not a pill – it’s a suspension form of carbidopa and levodopa that’s delivered continuously into the intestine over 16 hours through a tube. Duopa is delivered by a small portable pump, which you carry or wear as you go about your day.
