Samantha Dow, SPTSlide2
Improve ventilation and increase efficiency of breathingAid in movement and clearance of mucous / sputum from lungs and airways to prevent build and increased risk of infection
Prevent pneumonia and other illnesses related to the lungs
Purpose of ExercisesSlide3
Constantly (as often as possible)The more you can get the sputum to move up and out of the lungs, the easier it will be to breath and maintain a clean pulmonary system
How often
d
o I need to perform these breathing exercises?Slide4
Controlled Deep BreathingDeep breathe with hold at end of inhaleBreath Stacking
Multiple small inhalations (stair step breathing)
Diaphragmatic Breathing
Breath from the belly
Segmental Breathing
Inhaling focusing on filling a single lung
Double Huff CoughingInhalation and double forced exhalationPurse-Lipped BreathingSlow exhale with lips puckered to increase resistance upon exhale
Breathing TechniquesSlide5
Active Cycle of BreathingSlide6
Normal relaxed breathingIn through the nose, out through the mouthPerform for 20 – 30 seconds
Breathing ControlSlide7
Slow, deep inhalation followed by a 3 second holdRepeat 3 – 4 timesIf painful, can use these to obtain full deep inhalation:Breath stacking
Segmental breathing
Deep BreathingSlide8
Inhale through nosePucker lipsExhale for 3 -4 seconds through puckered lips
Perform for 20 – 30 seconds
Pursed Lip BreathingSlide9
3 – 4 Deep BreathsBreathe in, push belly outBreath out, pull belly in
Diaphragmatic BreathingSlide10
Inhalation followed by two quick forced exhalations through open mouthAct like blowing ping pong ball out of mouth followed by 3 coughs
Aids in moving secretions along airways
HuffingSlide11
Purpose: improve lung functioningPrimary focus: slow, deep inhalation
Attempting to raise the plunger towards the top of the device
Secondary focus
: slow exhalation
Incentive SpirometerSlide12
Other methods to aid in clearing lungs:Exercising CoughingDeep breathing
Singing
Yelling
Positional changes
