Introduction[edit | edit source]
Active Cycle of Breathing (ACBT) is a technique which uses breathing exercises to improves the effectiveness of cough, lossen and clear secreations and improve the ventilation. ACBT have 3 main parts:
- Breathing Control
- Deep Breathing Exercises or thoracis expansion exercises
- Huffing OR Forced expiratory technique (F.E.T)
The FET is an integral part of the Active Cycle of Breathing Technique described by Pryor and Webber in 1992. The authors felt that the FET required expansion because clinically breathing control was underutilized and the link between breathing exercises and FET poorly understood.
Indication[edit | edit source]
- Post surgical /pain (rib fracture/ICC)
- Chronic increased sputum production e.g in Chronic bronchitis,cystic fibrosis
- Acute increase sputum production
