    The Active Cycle of Breathing Technique was first described in 1973 by Thompson as using forced expiratory techniques and diaphragmatic breathing to clear secretions in bronchial asthma. A British physiotherapist later modified it as the active cycle of breathing, which uses clearance of bronchial secretions, improving lung function without increasing hypoxemia or airflow obstruction, and helps maintain oxygen saturation better than postural drainage and percussion.
