Thanks to all for the input. I was prescribed the vest for 15 minutes, twice a day. I'm only on my 3rd day so too soon to say anything about results, but I share the feeling that I should not give up the 7% saline nebulizing. So we'll see!

Hi all
Hill Rom tech memtioned to increase HZ and time gradually based on my comfort level.
She said it may not bring up mucous but it shakes mucous off lungs. It also keeps you out of the hospital apparently.
Keep doing everything to keep mucous out of the lungs. I think with nebulizing, aerobika and chest PT, it could be effective. Lets hope and keep moving.
Good luck!
