Take a breath that is slightly deeper than normal. Huff coughing is a type of coughing if you have trouble clearing your mucus.
One big cough to bring the sputum up and out. Try to resist coughing during this phase. Keep your cheeks as firm as possible when you exhale. Take in a fairly deep breath and hold it for about 2-3 seconds.Įxhale actively (but not to o forcefully) through the mouthpiece until you no longer hear the flutter. Seal your lips tightly around the mouthpiece. Place the A erobika mouthpiece in your mouth. Your health care provider will show you postural drainage positions to use if these are recommended. Postural drainage positions include lying flat on your back, and alternating right and left sides. Sometimes we may have you lie in a postural drainage position to use the Aerobika. Sit up with good posture to use the A erobika. Shift the indicator toward – to decrease resistance. Move the resistance indicator toward the + to increase resistance. Your health care provider will set the indicator when you get your Aerobika. This is on the same side as the mouthpiece. The Aerobika airway clearance device is a technique to help mobilize mucus from the airways.Īssure proper setting of the resistance indicator on the A erobika.
If the mucus is allowed to collect in the airways, breathing may become difficult and infection may occur. People with some lung conditions such as cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis with nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) disease and COPD often produce a large amount of mucus.
