The Effect of Chest Physiotherapy Methods Applied Before Aspiration on Respiratory Characteristics

Expiratory rib cage compression: The hands are placed on the lower third of the rib cage. During expiration, the end and sides of the patients' rib cage are gradually compressed with the hands.At the end of expiration, compression is released from the thorax to allow patients to take a free inspiration. After each compression, the patient is allowed to perform 3 breathing cycles.Expiratory rib cage compression is applied for 5 minutes.

Percussion :Percussion is performed 3-5 times on each area from a height of approximately 10 cm with the domed hand. . It starts from the right and left lower lobes and goes up.Vibration:The hand is firmly/strongly placed on the application area. The arm and shoulder are stretched and the fingers are gently vibrated or shaken gently. While the patient is exhaling, vibration is performed 3-5 times in each area, starting from the right and left lower lobes.
