Postural Drainage Positions (as covered for the NPTE) EXPLAINED

The video tutorial covers postural drainage techniques for different lung segments, focusing on patient positioning, table angles, and percussion locations. It explains the methods for upper apical, anterior, and posterior segments, as well as middle and lower lung segments. The tutorial emphasizes understanding the anatomical landmarks and reasoning through the techniques rather than rote memorization.

What is the positioning for the lower anterior basal segments during percussion?

Describe the patient position and percussion site for the lower posterior basal segments.

What is the technique for percussing the lower lateral basal segments?

Explain how to percuss the lower superior segment of the lung.
