That's right you read the title of this video correctly I'm gonna show you how
chest physiotherapy is related to eating a hamburger fries. This is exactly
how it share physiotherapy with my patients and with the parents of my
pediatric patients. This videos is going to be a lot of fun. We're going to take a little trip,
so I'm really excited to make it for you
but before we go... what his chest physiotherapy? Chest physiotherapy is a
type of therapy that's used in patients that need to clear secretions
or mucus from their lungs.
it's used in patients with bronchitis
and pneumonia. Also patients with chronic lung conditions like cystic
fibrosis in ciliary dyskinesia;
they use chest physiotherapy daily
or multiple times a day to help keep their lungs clear.
So, before we get going I'm going to share with you a little bit about some anatomy
of the lungs. This will help everything to makes sense as we go
Your lungs
are basically a bunch of tubes with air sacks at the end.
These are the tubes
and these are your lungs.
The large tube is your trachea. You can feel your running right down your
throat right here.
it goes down
it splits at the carina
this part right here is called the carina.
and then it goes into both lungs. Those tubes split over and over and over again
in adults they split over twenty times before they get to the deepest parts of the lungs
all these tubes split over and over and over again.
and patients that have uh... a lot of disease alike milner bronchitis they end
up with secretions of mucus inside the law
so michelle that in
in this right here
the goal is to help move mucus from these parts alongs up to these parts the
lungs so that the patient and what usually clear
were ready to go
i got this camera here so you're going to come with me
we're going to go for a ride
they can i get a border burgers and uh...
order prize
that some hamburger fries are really hungry adn yesterday
this is the key gray-haired this is this is that this is the link
not study it
what what i mean by that
when i say to the
that parents especially as i say hey look
give a burger and fries and uh... you you want to catch up
on that program prized
i get to catch up
burger usually committed over pound on it
and hope for status to
to undo the cap of course but then the next step of course is to take that
bottle of ketchup and to turn it
tacitly guilt on the three downward i'll show you with the ones right after i get
a sketch up medicare
comes right now there we go
that's how you mobilize secretions detected upside-down you put your
patient mandela bird or a or on their side and
and you were out
you counted more ordered by three
scenes just like that that's how that's how you do cpc
what happens is this c_-one against gravity that's what we want to use still
looking back on our honor picture here iftikhar patients in a top-flight this
we start applying for caution to the side
will that mean this is just gonna settle on down to the bottom it's it's not to
be moving towards where the things you can more easily cough it out
so we often does the effort at work patient you there on their side
or into a trend alan berg
and then apply the percussion
because if we do that then the mucous is going to start moving this way towards
the larger airways and the patients going to be able to cough it out a whole
lot easier
that's housekeeping he is the other lady keeping a burger and fries so
uh... if you go excuse me i'm going to
and leave this in the market going
i want to mention to you today that i'm recording this video it's my mom's
birthday today so happy birthday mom
