Chest care 拍痰

2024/7/23

Chest care

Chest care causes vibration and makes sputum in trachea and lung easily removed. Then the removed sputum could be drain out by postural drainage and gravity.

Timing

  1. About 3 - 4 time everyday or every 2 hours
  2. Everyday after awake, before breakfast or 1 - 2 hours post prandial to prevent patients from vomiting
  3. Before sleep
  4. After chest therapy
  5. It takes 10 - 15 minutes to proceed though it could vary depending on the individual condition and endurance of the young patient. s

Methods

The healer arches his palms into a cup shape, and makes regular and powerful slaps on the desired part of the chest as shown above. Steadily touch the chest wall with the natural bending force of the wrist.

Use the sputum cup to make regular and powerful slaps on the desired part of the chest as shown in the picture above. Steadily touch the chest wall with the natural bending force of the wrist.
  • Please note! Do not tap on bony protrusions, vertebrae, or areas below the waist.
 

Areas for percussion

  1. Please the baby on its back with its head low and its feet high, make effective slaps on both sides of its chest, just above the nipples, and make sure that a thin piece of clothing  is on to avoid direct slaps on the baby's skin.
  1. Face down, head down and feet high, make effective slaps on both sides of the back just above the shoulder blades.
  1. Please the baby on its side with its head lowered and your arms raised, and slap under its armpits on both sides.
