Abstract:
Bronchiectasis is a chronic, structural lung disease characterized by chronic cough, sputum production, and decreased exercise capacity. These symptoms worsen during exacerbations and impact negatively on health-related quality of life. Airway mucus clearance and pulmonary rehabilitation play an important role in the management of bronchiectasis, despite a relatively weak evidence base. Thus, the paper reviews the physiological rationale and clinical evidence of airway clearance techniques (ACTs), application and research progress of pulmonary rehabilitation in the management of bronchiectasis.
