If the patient is to have postural drainage only once a day,drainage should be done in the morning to remove secretions that have accumulated during the night.Because there is likely to be some gagging during coughing episodes that take place during postural drainage,it is best to carry out the procedure before meals,when the stomach is relatively empty and vomiting is less likely.
