Ever heard of "leaning" for treatment of lung secretions? - flusmitten


Posted: Apr 22, 2011

Doc has performed bronchoscopy and then says:  "Therapeutic bronchoscopy done with copious amount of secretions; will attempt s/l leaning."  Later he says, "Unable to lean; will attempt each day." What is this? Is it "leaning" the patient so the secretions will drain?

never mind--I think it's weaning--nm - flusmitten
