Active cycle of breathing |
Breathing maneuver that combines breathing control, thoracic expansion Control and forced expiration technique |
|
Autogenic drainage |
Technique that aims to achieve the highest possible airflow in the different generations of bronchi secretions without forced expirations. |
|
Chest physiotherapy (CPT) |
Technique used to help remove mucus and fluid from the lungs conventional CPT consists of postural drainage percussion and vibration |
|
Forced expiratory technique (FET) |
Breathing maneuver that consists of one or two forced expirations or Huffs, combined with a period of controlled breathing |
|
High frequency chest wall compression (HFCWC) |
Any airway clearance technique that use a vest to compress the chest externally with short, rapid expiratory flow pulses and relies on chest wall elastic recoil to return the lungs to functional residual capacity |
|
high-frequency chest wall oscillation (HFCWO) |
An airway clearance technique that uses cuirass to generate biphasic changes in transrespiratory pressure difference |
|
Huff coughing |
Forced expiratory techniques (FET) that is performed by sharply exhaling from high to Mid- lung volumes through an open glottis; used for patient unable to generate an effective cough |
|
Incentive spirometry (IS) |
Technique designed to mimic natural sighing or yawning maneuvers; also referred to as sustained maximal inspiration; used to reestablish the normal pattern of periodic deep breathing in the post-oprative period |
|
Intermittent positive-pressure breathing (IPPB) |
Short term or episodic mechanical ventilation for the primary purpose of assisting ventilation and providing short duration hyperinflation therapy; usually administered with phenomatically driven, pressure- triggered and pressure -cycled ventilators |
|
Intrapulmonary percussive ventilation (IPV) |
Therapeutic form of chest physical therapy using a pneumatic device called a percussionator; the patient breathes through a mouthpiece which delivers high-flow mini burst at a rate of over 200 cycles per minute |
|
Mechanical insufflation-exsufflation |
Technique in which a device inflates the lungs with positive pressure followed by a negative pressure to simulate a cough |
|
Mini bronchoalveolar lavaga (mini-BAL) |
A nonbronchoscopic method of performing a small volume bronchoalveolar lavage for quantitative culture results to guide antibiotic therapy prescribed for patients suspected of ventilator-associated pneumonia |
|
Nasotracheal suctioning |
Maneuver used to remove secretions from the lower respiratory tract |
|
Percussion therapy |
Technique of rapidly clapping cuffing or striking the external thorax directly over the lung segment being drained, with either cupped hands or a mechanical device |
|
Positive expiratory pressure (PEP) |
Airway clearance technique in which the patient exhales against a fixed orifice flow resistor or aid in the movement of secretions into the larger airways |
|
Postural drainage (PD) |
Use of positioning and gravity to drain secretions from area of the bronchi and lungs into the trachea |
|
Sputum induction |
Method of facilitating the cough up of material from the lungs often through the administration of bland aerosols. |
|
Vibration therapy |
Maneuver used as part of conventional chest physiotherapy to assist patients in mobilizing secretions from the lower respiratory tract |
