This video demonstrates Breath Stacking, a technique using a Lung Volume Recruitment (LVR) bag to expand the lungs, maintain chest wall flexibility, and reach lower air sacs. You will learn how to coordinate with an assistant to take consecutive breaths without exhaling, building the lung volume necessary to trigger a productive cough. The guide also highlights essential safety protocols, including timing sessions before meals and recognizing contraindications like low blood pressure or chest discomfort.
