Abstract
|
|
|
The treatment goals of non-cystic fibrosis adult bronchiectasis are to relieve symptoms, improve quality of life, and prevent acute exacerbations. Bronchiectasis patients with chronic respiratory symptoms are recommended receiving chest physiotherapy (postural drainage, expiratory flow modification, instrumental techniques, and pulmonary rehabilitation) by a trained physiotherapist to control respiratory symptoms. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is known to be associated with severe symptoms, poor quality of life, frequent acute exacerbations, and high mortality in bronchiectasis patients. Therefore, the eradication of P. aeruginosa is recommended despite low quality of evidence. This is a brief review of the treatment of bronchiectasis based on the recently released European Respiratory Society guidelines for the management of adult bronchiectasis.
