If she raises her hands while doing her breathing treatments will that help her get the med. deeper into her lungs?

To whom RU referring: ...and what disease process is undergoing treatment, and with what methodology (pulmonary rehab, inhalation, etc.)? Can't help you unless we understand fully the context of your question.

Any effort: which EXPANDS the CHEST CAGE will assist filling the lungs...raising the arms used to be a method of artificial respiration (it was NOT very effective but obviously helped a little) Hope this is helpful! Dr Z
