Abstract (English):	Postural drainage involves a combination of techniques, including multiple positions to drain the lungs, percussion, vibration, deep breathing, and coughing. Chest physical therapy, including percussion and postural drainage techniques, allows gravity to remove mucus build-up in the lungs in COVID-19 patients with respiratory distress. These techniques also help open both airways and deliver more oxygen to the air sacs and improve circulation to the lungs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish):	El drenaje postural implica una combinación de técnicas, que incluyen múltiples posiciones para drenar los pulmones, percusión, vibración, respiración profunda y tos. La fisioterapia de tórax, que incluye técnicas de drenaje postural y percusión, permite que la gravedad elimine la acumulación de moco en los pulmones en pacientes con COVID-19 con dificultad respiratoria. Estas técnicas también ayudan a abrir ambas vías respiratorias y a llevar más oxígeno a los sacos de aire y a mejorar la circulación a los pulmones. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
