You take a deep breath. Don't exhale. Use your throat muscles
to hold your breath. Keep sucking more air in while holding it in.
When you can't suck in anymore air, let it all out. Say, "Ohhh yyyes!!!"
If you are on the vent with a cuffless trach and passey muir valve, you
can take a double breath then let it out. Do not attempt a triple breath.
You might collapse a lung. A double breath can help you cough.
