I have a Vest System and I have been told that when my port line is in to not do any vest treatments. So I don't. do any of you use your vest system when your port line is in use? and if not then what do you use for airway clearance?

I use my vest when my port is accessed. All I do is loosen that side of the shoulder strap and put in a balled up sock or something else to stabilize the needle if it sticks out far (like a 1 inch needle does.) I don't have any trouble with the 3/4 inch needle.

When I don't use my vest (for other reasons, I used the Acapella, the Quake, or I have my husband aminister CPT.

Maybe ask your doc or homehealthcare how you can still use the Vest. I do not have a port but when I have my picc line I just put a towel on my chest so there is more cusion. Otherwise, if you have the FLutter you can use that.


Feel better!

im a rt with a brother and sister that have cf. there is a new vest (what you wear, not the machine) that straps around you from right under the arm pits, so there are no shoulder straps to get in the way. i would see if you get one of those from your clinic or i will use the complete acapella (the one you can boil after use) or the PEP, or flutter or manual CPT. I would keep doing some sort of airway clearance for sure.
