What is subglottal pressure?

Subglottic pressure is pressure of air in the trachea below the glottis when the glottis is closed. High subglottic pressure are generated in some physiological maneuvers, like immediately before release of a cough. In the compression phase of a cough the glottis is closed as expiratory muscles contract, resulting in increased subglottic pressure on the distal side of the closed glottis. Then the glottis opens and air rushes out of the lungs causing a drop in subglottic pressure. Subglottic pressure is also important in vocalization, particularly sounds that use opening and closing of the glottis.
