3.Pursued lip breathing
Pursued lip breathing is a method used to improve ventilation in COPD where breathing is done slowly by keeping lips together to form a rounded shape.
4. Pursed lip breathing helps in moving oxygen into the lungs and carbon dioxide out of the lungs. This technique helps airway open longer so that the air trapped in the lungs can be removed by slowing down the breathing rate and thus can relive shortness of breath.
