Figure 2 Proportion of participants who preferred each timing regimen, among the initial study cohort (n=50) and among the cohort who repeated the 3-day study at their second hospital admission (n=14). Before = hypertonic saline before airway clearance techniques, During = hypertonic saline during airway clearance techniques, After = hypertonic saline after airway clearance techniques Journal of Physiotherapy 2012 58, 33-40DOI: (10.1016/S1836-9553(12)70070-X) Copyright © 2012 Australian Physiotherapy Association Terms and Conditions
