Pursed-lip breathing is a technique that can help people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to better manage shortness of breath. It slows down the breathing rate, allowing for more efficient exhalation and improved ventilation. This technique can help reduce the feeling of breathlessness without altering the prescribed oxygen therapy settings.
