Encourage high fluid intake program unless contraindicated by other diseases and if physician approves.Maintain record of fluid intake and output.Fluids thin secretions and make them easier to cough up.Stop all continuous gastric tube feedings for 30 to 45 minutes before postural drainage.Check for residual feeding in the patient's stomach; if greater than 100 mL,hold treatment.If the patient is receiving inhaled bronchodilator,nebulizers,or aerosol treatment,postural drainage is performed 20 minutes after such therapy is provided.
