This loosens some of the deeper secretions and helps them move into airways. Material in the airway generates coughing which removes these materials from the body. Coupage should be performed at least four times daily and should be continued at home as long as the patient has a cough. y y y Proper positioning Increasing oral fluid intake Antibiotic therapy Antibiotics are given to kill the bacteria that causes inflammation of the lungs.
