Aims • Clearance of bronchial secretions • ↑ lung function ACBT BC Huffing TEE
Breathing control • Resting period between active parts of cycle • Tidal breathing, own rate and depth • Upper chest and shoulders relaxed • Diaphragmatic breathing • Inspiration and expiration barely audible
Thoracic expansion exercises • Deep breathing emphasizing inspiration • 3-second end-inspiratory hold • Collateral ventilation pathways • Repeat 3 times • Proprioceptive stimulation • “Sniff” • Combined with percussion, shaking or vibration
Forced expiratory technique“Huffing” • Combination of one or two huffs with BC (5-10s or 10-20s) • Huffing from low or high lung volumes • With forced expiratory manouvre = dynamic compression and airway collapse • This less with huffing • As effective, less effort, not as exhausting • Forced but not violent
ACBT • Adapted for each patient • In sitting or PD-position • End of Rx = unproductive low lung volume cough (2 cycles)

Oscillating positive expiratory pressurep .149-154 • Flutter device • With expiration = PEP and oscillating vibration of air in airway • Slow breath in, little deeper than normal, hold for 3-5 s. • Expiration through flutter, little faster than normal, repeat 4-8 times • Deep breath, hold at full inspiration, forced expiration, can repeat • BC and huff or cough
Incentive spirometryp. 163-169 • Increase inspiratory capacity • Slow, deep inspiration with visual feedback • Generate a predetermined flow or achieve certain volume • End inspiratory hold • Pattern of breathing = expansion of lower chest and diaphragmatic breathing
