For me the RT had me do, with her right there with me, nebulize 7% saline, followed by the Aerobika, Postural Drainage, RT performed percussion therapy on my lower lungs and then finally had me huff coughing. It was the first time I ever brought up as much light yellow mucus as I did and therefore was able to give a sample that went into the sputum vile container I huffed coughed into.
