well tht's an interestng question; theoretically speaking i absolutely agree with mr.king but realize tht we don't perform the work of breathing consciuosly ;so manipulating the breathing patterns wud'nt hv too much of an effect on prognosis!

well...we do teach patient "purse-lip" breathing. Which makes a difference in eliminating the trapped air, by creaing naural PEEP.
