What Is the Treatment of Bronchiectasis? Airway Clearance as a Core Intervention

Bronchiectasis is a chronic airway condition in which effective clearance of secretions is a central management priority. Structured, evidence-based approaches exist to address this, and they are tailored to the individual patient.

Management centres on a specific category of physical airway clearance techniques that patients are trained to perform. The approach is personalised — and supportive devices may have a role alongside manual techniques. The complete regimen, including how to select and sequence these interventions, is in the full protocol.
