ObjectivesOverview of airway clearance techniquesPracticePractical look at available PEP/OPEP devicesDiscussion
The ResearchACBT favoured over most alternatives for short-term gains in secretion clearance (Lewis, Williams & Olds, 2011)
Airway clearance techniques safe for COPD, small benefits on some clinical outcomes (Osadnik, McDonald, Jones, & Holland 2011)
Autogenic drainage as effective as ACBT in clearing secretions and improving O2sat without causing detrimental cardiac & respiratory rates, and breathlessness in pts with AECOPD (Moiz, Kishore & Belsare, 2007)
5 studies – ACTs did not improve measures of resting lung function (Hill, Patman & Brooks, 2009)
ACTs appear to be safe in people with stable bronchiectasis – may be improvements in sputum expectoration, selected measures of lung function & health-related quality of life, (Lee, Burge & Holland, 2013)
Research, contd. Solid evidence of effectiveness of different airway clearance techniques in COPD is scarce
ACBTs, AD, Forced expiration can be effective in treatment of COPD
Evidence for passive techniques – postural drainage/percussion – low
Little evidence – combined use of active techniques and supporting techniques (O)PEP, postural drainage & vibration in COPD
Need for ‘well-powered controlled clinical trials on the long-term effects of (combined) airway clearance techniques in COPD’
Ides, Vissers DeBacker, Leemans & DeBacker, 2011
Who & What?Anyone with mucous hypersecretion
COPD with sputum production (>30ml/day), bronchiectesis, cystic fibrosis/cilliary dysfunction, chronic or post-op atelectasis
Forced Expiratory Technique, Active Cycle of Breathing, Autogenic Drainage, Oscillating PEP Therapy, Exercise
Also: PEP Devices, High Frequency Chest Wall Oscillation, Intra-pulmonary Percussor Ventilator, Inhalation Therapy
Why?Gentle (generally), progressive sputum movement through to expectoration
Possible reduction in frequency of infections which prevent further airway damage and lung function decline
Potential to reduce the rate of progression of lung disease
Efficient – most sputum, shortest time, least energy expenditure
Performed anywhere, at any time
Active Cycle of Breathing Technique (ACBT)
Combinations of breathing control, thoracic expansion control, and FETBreathing control – default relaxed breathing between manoeuvre efforts
Shoulders relaxed, gentle breathing with lower chestAbdomen should move slightly
Fink, J.B. (2007). Forced Expiratory Technique, Directed Cough and Autogenic Drainage. Respiratory Care, 52(9), p. 1210- 1223
ACBTs contd.Thoracic expansion – larger-than-normal breaths, followed by relaxed exhale
Typically limited to 3-4 deep breaths
Forced Expiratory Technique (FET)
First described by Thompson & Thompson in 1968Combination of manoeuvres described as a ‘milking action’
Directed CoughForced Huff Exhalation
Fink, J.B. (2007). Forced Expiratory Technique, Directed Cough and Autogenic Drainage. Respiratory Care, 52(9), p. 1210- 1223
Directed CoughStandard procedure
Deep breathHold, using abdominal muscles to force air against a closed glottisCough with single exertionSeveral relaxed breaths before next effort
Fink, J.B. (2007). Forced Expiratory Technique, Directed Cough and Autogenic Drainage. Respiratory Care, 52(9), p. 1210- 1223
‘Huff’ Directed Cough/Huff Forced Exhalation
3-5 slow, deep breaths, inhaling through nose, exhaling through pursed lips, using diaphragmatic breathing.Deep breath and hold for 1-3 secondsExhale from mid-to-low lung volume.Normal breath in, squeeze it out by contracting the abdominal and chest wall muscles, with the mouth open while whispering the word ‘huff’ during exhalation. Repeat several times. When secretions enter larger airways, exhale from high-to-mid lung volume to clear secretionsRepeat process 2-3 times.Take relaxed breaths before next efforts

Autogenic DrainageDescribed by Jean Chevaillier in 1967Deeper than normal breath, and exhale in a gentle but active wayPreparation & PositionInspirationExpirationDescribed as ‘unstick, collect & evacuate’
Agostini, P. & Knowles, N. (2007) Autogenic drainage: the technique, physiological basis and evidence. Physiotherapy, 93, p. 157-163.
Preparation & PositionClear upper airways, ie, nose & throat – huffing or coughingTake prescribed nebulizers or inhalersFind comfortable, unrestricted position
InspirationPerformed slowly, through the noseHeld for 2-4 secondsUp to twice the size of normal tidal breath
ExpirationActive, silent sighAt least as long as inspiration, but exhaling a little longer helps to achieve low lung volume stageUrge to cough should be suppressed until secretions are high enough to expectorate successfullyUtilize controlled cough or huff for expectoration
The process‘unstick’ – low volume breathing‘collect’ – breathe based on frequency vibrations‘evacuate’ – only when secretions have made their way to upper/central airways or mouth
