Instruct the patient to assume semi-Fowler's or high-Fowler's position, and place a nose clip on the patient's nose. Have the patient place his lips around the mouthpiece. Instruct the patient to exhale in quick, short, forced huffs. Huff coughing, or forced expiratory technique, promotes bronchial hygiene by increasing expectoration of secretions.
