I was just curious what setting you guys set your Vest at for your kids. I have a 3 year old whose settings are 16/3 for 18 mins. My 8 year old has his settings at 18/3 for 18 mins. I was just curious what you or your Pulmonary Clinic advise as far as setting for different ages that use the Vest. What is too high and what is too low? Comments please.<img src="i/expressions/vest.gif" border="0">

Austin's numbers are 10/12/14 on number 5 for 10 minutes each. supposed to be but normally we just do the 14 on 5 for the whole 30 minutes. I know I should do it the other way. I have no excuses as to why I don't do it that way.

We started doing 10/12/14 at 5 for the pressure when DS was 3 for 20 minutes. We gradually upped the pressure over several weeks. He now does 10/12/14 at a pressure of 10. Noticed at the clinic last week when they were trying to get a sputum culture that they had the HZ at 16 with pressure at 5

I thought the speed variation was to make sure both the upper and lower lobes got a good workout. I usually start at 14 and then after 10 minutes go down to 12 then 10.

The settings must be different for your Vest, we have 3 sets of numbers. The first is the hz-16 the second is 3 and the third is minutes-18. They said that we are supposed to do 10 mins stop due huff and then do the other 10 mins. My 3 yr. old doesn't know how to huff and my 8 yr. old huffs after the total 20 mins. What do your settings stand for?<img src="i/expressions/vest.gif" border="0">
