what position do you drain the frontal, ethmoid, sphenoid sinus’
supine
what position do you drain the maxillary sinus’
prone, sidelying
where would you palpate the frontal sinus’
pressing superiorly at the medial angle of superior orbital margin
focus of tx for sinusitis
relaxation based - unforced diaphragmatic breathing
positioning for sinusitis
prone, sidelying with affected sinus uppermost is best position for draining single affected maxillary
supine for others
head must be _____ to completely drain maxillary sinus
horizontal
sidelying = single max sinus
prone = both max sinus
supine = ethmoid & sphenoid
