Clearing lung technique I found by accident

Mayo gave me a booklet on postural drainage as part of my airway clearance. I do neb with albuterol, Aerobika, then 2 positions (I alternate) for 5-10" each. It has illustrations showing which area of lung is drained each position. I looked at CT 's and concentrate on those areas. The info is also on the web.

@pacathy
Which Mayo do you go to? I am assuming the one in Rochester. I go to the one in Jacksonville and I was not provided any handouts of any sort. Very disappointed in the respiratory therapy dept. in Jax.
I wrote a three page letter to the Pulmonary dept. describing my experiences and asking for handouts.
Will see what happens.

You say info available on the web? Can you kindly post the link? I am with Kaiser and they give ZERO info on any of this, even when requested. Thank you.
