Breathing Techniques Bronchiectasis and NTM Initiative

The lungs bring oxygen into the body (inhaling) and remove carbon dioxide from the body (exhaling). In advanced stages of bronchiectasis and nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) lung disease, the lungs may not work as well because of too much mucus clogging the airways. Breathing techniques can be used to reduce the feeling of shortness of breath in bronchiectasis and NTM patients with low lung function.
