Lung Volume Recruitment
Lung Volume Recruitment (LVR) is a technique used primarily in respiratory therapy to help improve lung function, especially in individuals with conditions like asthma or pneumonia. It involves deep breathing exercises that encourage the lungs to take in more air and expand fully. By increasing the amount of air in the lungs, LVR helps to enhance oxygen exchange, reduce the risk of lung complications, and improve overall respiratory health. This method is often guided by healthcare professionals to ensure it is done safely and effectively.
