  13. Each position consists of placing the target lung segment(s) superior to the what?
    carina
  14. Necessity of performing postural drainage on upper lobes?
    True. Start with clearing secretions at the most superior level
  15. Performance of postural drainage after meals (or has eaten within the last hour) is a what?
    False. Contraindication due to uncontrolled airway at risk for aspiration
  16. Use of supplemental oxygen on all patients receiving postural drainage?
    False. Must determine if the patient needs oxygen or not for therapy beforehand
  17. Diseases placing patients at risk for the development of hemoptysis is an indication for postural drainage?
    False. This is a contraindication
  18. Factors involved in the performance of properly administered postural drainage.
    • 1. Place target lung segment(s) superior to the carina
    • 2. 3-15 minutes for each position
    • 3. External Manipulation of the Thorax by:
    • - Percussion: cupping, clapping, and tapotement. Applies kinetic energy to the chest wall and lung
    • - Vibration: application of a fine tremorous action
  19. What two factors would you utilize in selecting particular segments for postural drainage?
    Auscultation and Chest X-ray
  20. List (in writing) at least five factors that should be recorded when charting any postural drainage treatment.
    • 1. Change in sputum production
    • 2. Change in breath sounds of lung fields being drained
    • 3. Patient subjective response to therapy
    • 4. Change in vital signs
    • 5. Change in chest X-ray
    • 6. Change in arterial blood gas values or oxygen saturation
    • 7. Change in ventilator variables
  21. How long should each position be held?
    3-15 minutes
  22. The purpose of percussion is to do what?
    intermittently apply kinetic energy to the chest wall and lung
  23. How should percussion be performed?
    striking the thorax with cupped hand or mechanical device directly over the lung segment
  24. What are vibrations?
    application of a fine tremorous action
  25. What are the different purposes for turning?
    • - inability or reluctance of patient to change body position
    • - poor oxygenation associated with position
    • - potential for or presence of atlectasis
    • - presence of artificial airway
  26. The correct setting (cycles per second) when using the G-5 percussor vibrator is?
    36 cps, or Low Speed Setting.
  27. What are various factors that can assist in the performance of postural drainage on an infant?
    • 1. Postural drainage is applied best while holding the infant and maneuvering them in your arms
    • 2. Percussion is effectively applied by tapping the designated ares with 2 to 3 fingers and little force
    • 3. Use of a rocking chair if available
  28. List (in writing) three contraindications for the use of postural drainage
    • 1. Intracranial pressure >20 mmHg
    • 2. active hemorrhage with hemodynamic instability
    • 3. recent spinal surgery or acute spinal injury
    • 4. acute spinal injury or active hemoptysis
    • 5. empyema
    • 6. bronchopleural fistula
    • 7. pulmonary edema associated with CHF
    • 8. large pleural effusions
    • 9. pulmonary embolism

    • 11. rib fracture, with or without flail chest
    • 12. surgical wound or healing tissue
