POSTURAL DRAINAGE WITH PERCUSSION

Each position should be held for a minimum of five minutes. In each position, your chest should be lower than your hips to allow mucus to drain. On your back: Patient's chest should be lower than his hips, which you can achieve by lying on a slanted surface up about 18 to 20 inches. On your sides: With pillows under your hips, lie on one side. To clear congestion from the right and left lobes. On your stomach: Drape patient's body over a stack of pillows, this is best in clearance of mucus from the lower back area of the lungs. Percussion The equipment required here is cupped hands of caregiver to deliver the force required to drain the thick secretions. Patient should be in a comfortable position to enhance the effect. This loosens the thick, sticky secretions from the walls of the lung allowing them to into the larger airways, The sound heard must be hollow. The force applied must be equal.
