Mucociliary clearance techniques for treating non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis: Is there evidence?

abstract：:Non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (nCFb) is an acquired condition of variable etiology. Medical treatment basically involves antibiotics and chest physiotherapy. An impaired mucociliary clearance seems to be one of the mechanisms behind nCFb, and inhaled therapy with mucoactive agents has frequently been used to try ...
