airway clearance?

I just read an article that talks about using the vest and how when using it you should breathe slowly and deeply and how one doctor suggested putting the vest on for an hour while a patient was sleeping to maximize the effects. I figure some treatment is better than none at all.

We go in on Thursday to get "trained" on how to do cpt. Does using the nebulizer go hand in hand with doing cpt?

We usually have one person hold the nebs while the other does cpt. If one of us is out of town or unable to help, then we do each position one handed. Holding the neb in one hand, cpt with the other and hope DS lays still and watches tv. Sometimes if DH is out of town, I'll just neb DS about 15 minutes earlier, then I do CPT.
