3% Saline vs. 7% for Nebulizing

Siri my routine is quite similar except I use vest with aerobika. Since you do not produce or cough much, does the auto genic drainage help you cough up some or you do it because it’s the right thing to do. Also why the vest at the end? I cough up clear mucus only during sodium chloride 7% nebulizing unless I catch an infection. Thank you for sharing. Sometimes it feels so personal all that coughing and huffing and spitting.

Hi Lilianna!

I follow Dr Pamela McShane protocol. She specializes in bronchiectasis at University of TX-Tyler. She recommends to use Aerobika and the vest after the saline because the lungs are moist and that helps remove the mucus. Even if we don`t cough anything, the mucus still gets loose. My mornings are more productive than the evenings. I do Autogenic Drainage because at the end when I cough, I feel my chest feels better.
