Q & A

What is the purpose of the chest physiotherapy session described in the script?

The purpose of the chest physiotherapy session is to help the patient clear mucus from the lungs, improve breathing, and promote better respiratory function. The therapist uses techniques like postural drainage, tapping, and vibration to achieve this.

How does the physiotherapist instruct the patient to position themselves during the session?

The physiotherapist instructs the patient to sit upright, leaning forward slightly, supported by a cushion to maintain proper posture. This position aids in the drainage of mucus from the lungs.

What is 'postural drainage,' and how is it used in this session?

Postural drainage is a technique where the patient is positioned in specific ways to allow gravity to help drain mucus from the lungs. In this session, the patient is asked to lean forward while the therapist taps and vibrates the patient's back to help loosen the mucus.

What is the technique used for tapping the patient's back?

The physiotherapist uses cupped hands to tap gently on the patient’s back. This creates small air spaces between the hands and the back, which helps in loosening mucus in the lungs.

What is the purpose of the deep breathing exercises during the session?

The deep breathing exercises are designed to help the patient expand their lungs, improve oxygen intake, and promote the expulsion of mucus. The patient is instructed to inhale deeply through the nose, hold the breath, and then exhale slowly through the mouth.

How does the patient need to handle the mucus that is expelled during the session?

The patient is instructed to cough in a controlled manner into a collection container, ensuring the mucus is expelled properly without mixing with saliva. This helps in maintaining the effectiveness of the therapy.

Why is it important for the patient to maintain a forward-leaning position during the therapy?

Maintaining a forward-leaning position helps facilitate the drainage of mucus from the upper respiratory tract, making it easier to expel the mucus during coughing or other techniques used in the session.

What is the role of the 'vibration' technique mentioned in the transcript?

Vibration involves the therapist shaking or vibrating the patient’s back with their hands. This technique helps loosen and mobilize mucus from the lungs, making it easier for the patient to expel the mucus.

What should the therapist do after completing the tapping and vibration techniques?

After completing the tapping and vibration techniques, the therapist asks the patient to return to a comfortable position and proceed with deep breathing exercises to ensure the lungs are fully cleared and oxygenated.

How does the therapist assess if the therapy session has been effective?

The therapist assesses the effectiveness of the therapy by checking if the patient has expelled enough mucus into the collection container. If the mucus collected is sufficient, the session is considered successful.
