Trendelenberg  Position used to assist with removal of secretions  Pt is in a "head down" position where the bed is positioned in a 45 degrees downward  DO NOT  Do this with pateints who have fluid coditions such as CHF, pulmoary edema, hypertension, tubes that will obstruct airways, and SOB Reversse Trendelenberg  Similar to trendeleberg but has the head above the trunk  This is used when patients can not tolerate the trendelenberg (in DO NOT section)  Provides less airway resistance  Semi-fowler's position  Picture is a tad bit extreme but it is similar to reverse trendelenberg but there is a pillow under the patietn's knees  Head is 45 degrees upward  Beginning positioning for diaphragmatic breathing  Used mainly with pat's who have CHF or other cardiac issues  This is used for the same reasons as reverse trendelenberg (in DO NOT section)

Video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_n0nuy8VWmI   Autogenic drainage (AD) breathing technique Does not require postural drainage or coughing technique  The idea is to use small airways to move mucus through the lobes  Requires heavy concentration to perform  Children, lack of motivation, or easily distracted may not be the best decision for this  This is also done at low lung volumes  Treatement is about 30-45 mins  Pt is sitting upright with back support  "Unsticking phase"  Slow inhalation through nose  Followed by 2-3 sec breath hold (the idea is that the air will be behind the secretions)  Than exhale down into expiratory reserve volumes  "Collecting phase"  Breathe during tidal volume  with a 2-3 sec hold of breath  "Evacuating phase"  Deep inhalation during inspiratory reserve volume  With breath holding  Than 1-2 coughs  Exhalation can be done with pursed-lip technique

Simple stuff  Direct coughing is a forceful cough which requires pressure and has a high chance of closing off airways  But can be used to remove secretions  Inhale to max hold for 2-3 seconds than cough sharply 2-3 times  Huff coughing is pretending to "fog up glasses" which is a low lung volume technique to remove secretions  Inhale through mouth than exhale like you are fogging up a mirror  Contraindications include  Osteoprosis Hernia (hiatal)   Pregnancy  Acute abdominal pathology  Abdominal aortic aneurysm  Acute unstable head, neck or spinal injury

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqfj9LPKjQ0   Segmental breathing Similar to postural drainage where you work on certain segments of the lungs but this is to teach the patient on how to breath in that area Tactile cues is used on the chest wall to assess and teach patient how to breath in that area  Basically thoracic expansion  Indications   When there is a asymmetry with their expansion of the chest wall that resulted in a pulmonary disease  Lung wall complications  Increased flow resistance with decreased lung volume Positions   Seated is there is a basal atelectasis  Sidelying for upper most areas  Postural drainage positions for upper segments and secretions  What the therapist must keep in mind  Pressure only on EXHALATION  light pressure during inhalation
