Active Cycle Breathing Technique (ACBT)
- It is an active breathing technique performed by patients and used to mobilize and clear excess pulmonary secretions while improving lung function. Here's a breakdown of its phases:
1. Breath Control: This involves normal breathing, focusing on controlling the breath.
2. Chest Expansion/Deep Breathing: This phase focuses on expanding the chest to facilitate better airflow.
3. Forced Expiratory Technique (FET): This involves techniques such as huff low/high-intensity breathing to help clear secretions effectively.
