Treatment
- airway clearance and hypertonic saline is key treatment in bronchiectasis
- azithromycin could be helpful in bronchiectasis patients with over 3 exacerbations per year
- inhaled antibiotics could be used for maintenance in bronchiectasis patients with over 3 exacerbations per year
- eradication of bacteria colonization in bronchiectasis
- avoid pulmozyme or dornase alfa in non-cystic fibrosis CF bronchiectasis
- use of brensocatib reduces exacerbation in bronchiectasis
- bronchiectasis exacerbation is defined by worsening symptoms for 48 hours needing treatment
