CF patients have daily airway clearance therapy to help move the thick, sticky mucous out of their lungs. This can be done manually, either by cupping the hands or with the aid of a percussor cup, or a machine such as The Vest can be used.

 Sarah recieves airway clearance twice a day for 30mins as normal care. When she gets sick we do it 3-4 times a day. Right now we use percussor cups and when she is big enough she will receive a vest to do it for her.
