    The document outlines breathing exercises and techniques to help clear secretions for patients. It discusses breathing control exercises and positioning techniques to improve lung expansion. Mobilization exercises like arm movements and walking are recommended to increase ventilation. Specific techniques to remove secretions are also outlined, including percussion and vibration, active cycle of breathing techniques, and oscillatory positive expiratory pressure devices to facilitate secretion mobilization and prevent early airway closure. The document provides guidance on using these various techniques 2-3 times per day for 10-15 minutes.

    Breathing exercise

    - Breathing control
    - Thoracic expansion exercise (TEE)
     Collateral ventilation (pores of Kohn)
    - Incentive spirometers: Triflo, Voldyne

    Positioning
    - Prop-up: better chest expansion
    - Side-lying: for uneven chest expansion, lie on non-dependent lung

    Mobilization
    - Exercise increases demand of ventilation: leading to increase in lung volume
    - Limb exercise
     Breath-in: arms up, breath out: arms down
    - Walking

    Secretion removal
    - PD
    - p/v
     vibration: initiate and peak of inspiration and continue throughout expiration
    - ACBT
     Breathing control, TEE +/- p/v , breathing control, huffing and cough, breathing
    control
    - Oscillatory positive expiratory pressure (flutter/acapella)
     Facilitate secretion mobilization
     Positive pressure: prevent early airway closure
     2-3 times per day, 10-15 mins
     Deep breath in, hold 2-3 sec, breath out
    - registration cert, practising cert, final transcript (photo/scan)
