Anyone familiar with pH balanced 7% saline, rather than acidic type?

Can you explain lying on your back as a sputum producer? Do lie on your back while using nebulizer? Sleeping? I’m sorry. This may be a really stupid question? Nobody has told me about airway clearance. Except for this forums. I now nebulize every day, but also am looking for what else to be doing. Thank you.

@med08 Lying on your back is one way to do "Postural drainage" using gravity to help get the sputum out. I do not nebulize at the same time but sometimes will use my Aerobika. I will also do manual percussion as I am lying on my back, makes it work even better for me. Here is a great video by Dr McShane on all aspects of Airway Clearance, it should help you understand all the methods and why it is so important to do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-EHohMe7II Good luck, Bill
