Does your child do CPT before or after Neb?

We do saline before the first vest treatment of the day. We used to do pulmozyme before, but we recently switched to after the second treatment. Doc says that it's a slower acting drug and works better if you do it at night, let it sit, and then it does it's thing during the next morning's treatment. Hard to tell if it does anything different as Sophie doesn't have a persistent cough. We do saline at the same time as the vest if we're crunched for time, but do it consecutively if we have time. More time to let it get in the lungs, and more time jiggling at full effect.

We do inhaler first, pulmozyme with vest and TOBI after.


Although to be 100% honest in the evenings we do TOBI with the vest. I know we're not supposed to. But, we can't get him to cooperate and sit still if we don't. I've had him attempt to drag equipment across the living room if it takes too long. So, we're working towards getting them done seperately. But, considering he was not well maintained the first 6 years of his life, its going to take some time to get him up to cooperation with how things are *supposed* to be done.
