46
Coughing that consists of a slow, maximal inspiration followed by breath-holding for several seconds and then two or three coughs.
Directed coughing
47
Consists of one or two forced exhalations (huffs) from low to medium lung volumes with the glottis open
Huff coughing
48
Steps in chest physiotherapy
1. Positioning 2. Vibration 3. Coughing
49
Medical Management of Bronchiectasis

50
Nursing Care of Patients undergoing Lung Surgery

51
The purpose of positioning the patient in Semi-Fowlers on Unaffected side
To allow expansion of affected lung
52
The purpose of positioning the patient in Semi-Fowles turned on Affected side
To promote lung expansion and prevent flooding of the remaining lung expansion and prevent flooding of the remaining lung with blood from the affected part
53
It is a largely reversible, unlike COPD

54
Risk factors and Triggers of Asthma
-Genetics -Immune response -Allergens -Exercise -Air pollutants -Occupational factors -Respiratory tract infection -Nose and sinus problems -Drugs (NSAIDS, Beta Blockers and ACE inhibitors) -GERD -Psychologic Factors
