Airway Clearance Techniques for Better Respiratory Health

Airway Clearance Techniques (ACTs) are widely used to facilitate the removal of retained airway secretions and improve pulmonary function. Excess mucus accumulation can obstruct airflow, impair gas exchange, and increase the risk of respiratory infections and other pulmonary complications.

Appropriate airway clearance interventions help maintain airway patency, enhance ventilation, improve oxygenation, and promote patient comfort. These techniques are especially beneficial for older adults, bedridden patients, and individuals with chronic respiratory diseases or reduced cough effectiveness.

Regular respiratory care and effective secretion management are important components of maintaining respiratory health and improving quality of life.
