Dear All, Does anyone have any references with regard to the use of saline with bronchial suction. Although it seems to be common practice to use ~5ml, it would appear that this amount and its efficacy may be another example of 'physio lore'. I would appreciate it if I could have your thoughts on the matter. Thanks in advance Jon Baldwin MCSP ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
