Q

Threshold breathing

A

buildup of negative pressure before flow occurs though a valve that opens at a critical pressure. Provides consistent and specific pressure for IMT, regardless of how quickly or slowly patients breath

Q

Pursed lip breathing

A

reduces RR, dyspnea, maintains small positive pressure in bronchioles which may help prevent airway collapse in patients with emphysema. Any patient who is short of breath may use this technique.
