Percussion

Description

[karenlightfoot-betts]

I've been an RN for 30 years. I greatly appreciate these videos and this one in particular. I feel that if the general population would know of these techniques then the secondary infection of pneumonia from COVID would be less deadly. Doctors know about medicine, not physiological techniques. This is where the Nursing and Therapy marriage is key to actually helping the patient achieve wellness.

I have post covid lung pain. My doctor just did this and my oxygen level went up by 3% and cleared out the crackling fluid. I can breathe so much easier. Now I need my husband to learn how to do this and do it twice a day until my lungs are finished with stupid covid.

I remember my mother would do this when I was a kid ( in the 80's ) to help me breath better, I had asthma really bad and pneumonia a lot. I'm much older now but I use vibration to try and break up mucous, seems to help a lot.

I was taught this as a nursing assistant 30 years ago. Great!!!👍

I’m a third year physio student and this really takes time to perfect, very nice demonstration

[doyouknoworjustbelieve]

I tried a Handheld Percussion Massager on my congested chest. It works. You don’t need help and it is faster than 3 strokes per second 😉.

Need to cup your hands. Use 2 hands as well and percuss like you mean it. Each lobe requires about 5min percussion.

Wow she's really thumping away there. My husband and daughter help me with my drainage and I can't tolerate any heavy handedness. It hurts!!! I would end up with a bad headache.

Very useful vid.
Can this be done seated?

[thaliac]

Where do they do this in orange county CA??? I need it so bad

[geraldhoskins]

Interesting, however this does little for effective secretion clearance in superior basal lobes (or any basal lobe, left or right), the apicoposterior upper lobe (left), or the posterior upper lobe (right). I would consider minor adjustments to draining all but the RML and L-lingula (upper and lower), but the cupping technique was well-demonstrated.

I came here to learn to play an instrument.

[udaysankarroy]

The hand placement for percussion technic is not correct

[bfil]

No need to give pillow support at below?

[mohamedorayith]

Quite excessive elbow movement- a bit intense for me

[ejasonrichmond]

This is more effort than I have seen from an American nurse in years .

[SK-bppr]

What is this? I have never seen this before

You don't want to do from the bottom to the top while she's sitting upright wtf. You'll drive the mucus deeper into the lungs.
