we had someone from hill-rom come out when we got it. there is also an instructional video. the wrap around vest doesn't give you too many options for placement. the doctors instructions were for 14/4/20min which is similar to what he had when in the hospital. it didn't sounds like they were too set on things and left a little bit up to experimentation. i saw a link to a frequency study a while back, does anyone have that, or some pointers? thanks

Ooooh, with the wrap the pressure settings are limited to a max of 6 or 7. DS had it at the hospital this past summer when they thought it'd be easier on his abdominal incision and he hated it. IMO, call up hill rom and order up a full size vest. You'll probably have to give them chest measurements. The vest will cover a LOT more chest area -- upper and lower lobes.

DS started with a size small vest at the age of 3 and now wears a medium.

I can't remember how to attach a photo to show you, but check some of the blogs and videos for examples.
