  • Consult with a physician regarding the risks versus the potential benefits when considering the use of positioning therapy in the following patient’s conditions:
    • Hemodynamic instability
    • Uncontrollable diarrhea
    • Severe agitation/uncontrollable claustrophobia
  • Chest physiotherapy should be used with precaution in patients without sputum production.  Adjust duration and intensity of percussion depending upon patient’s condition and response to therapy.
  • Prior to activating rotation therapy, assess the security of all invasive lines and tubes to accommodate the programmed angle of rotation and minimize the risk of binding, disconnecting or dislodging.
