Postural Drainage😮‍💨 - Fisioterapi Dada🩻 - Latihan Batuk Efektif👩🏻‍⚕️

Key wellness / self-care & care strategies discussed (for cough + phlegm clearance)

Chest physiotherapy (postural drainage support)

• Assess phlegm location first using a stethoscope.
• Position the patient to help drainage:
  • Upright or supported sitting
  • Face slightly crouched
• Pat the back to help loosen and move mucus/phlegm upward for easier expulsion.
• Continue the treatment after checking comfort and pain areas, with permission-based care.

Deep breathing technique (improve lung expansion & secretion movement)

• Inhale through the nose for 4
• Hold for 2
• Exhale for 8
• Exhale with slightly pursed lips (like a straw / lip rounding) to support controlled airflow.

Effective coughing exercise (expel loosened mucus)

• Practice deep breathing first (twice) to prepare the lungs.
• Then perform a timed inhale–hold–cough cycle:
  • Inhale 4
  • Hold 2
  • Exhale while coughing (short, forceful cough to move phlegm out)
• Repeat through 2–3 cycles as instructed.

Hydration support

• Drink water before practicing effective coughing to help with mucus clearance.

Time and monitoring

• The procedure is described as taking about ~10 minutes.
• Comfort is checked throughout, and reassessment is done after the techniques.
