Last summer while ds was hospitalized some of the RTs had him continue to neb regular saline .9 percent (?) while doing his vest. We usually just do albuterol/atrovent and then we're done.

Is nebbing regular saline (not hypertonic) beneficial?

Interesting question. It seems like it might help... kind of accomplish what a humidifier does, but without the bacterial worries. I'm interested in getting the dr's take on this too!

I use saline in my treatments for 2 reasons. I use it to dilute the effect of the treatment, it makes my heart race. Plus I do feel a benefit when I use it in my treatments with my vest therapy. It loosens the mucus.
