Postural Drainage & Percussion
Frequently Known As
“Pulmonary Toilet”
Postural Drainage & PercussionPostural Drainage & Percussion
Postural Drainage : Positioning the patient so that retained secretions in the bronchopulmonary tree can drain by gravity out of the lungs.
Percussion : A rhythmic percussion on the thoracic wall to loosen secretions and assist the mucociliary elevator to rid the lungs of retained secretions
Percussion…How Is Done ?Percussion…How Is Done ?
It is performed with a cupped hand and with most of the motion coming from the hand and wrist
A cyclic tapotement over the thoracic wall makes a popping sound
Very little movement comes from the elbow and shoulder
Both hands participate - the right hand is constantly in motion setting a regular rhythm while the left hand is the dissonant rhythm hand

Research has shown that a 30-45 minute PD & P session can clear the lung fields of secretions. An x-ray of the lungs pre and post treatment demonstrates a dramatically improved lung.

Positioning The PatientPositioning The Patient
Positioning the patient is important to allow the bronchi of each bronchopulmonary segment to be vertical so that the fluid inside the bronchus will move toward the mainstem bronchi and out of the lung.
