Abstract
From scanty to copious. Patients with bron- chiectasis have a number of other symptoms - pectorated fluid/mucus by a small amount, similar to the weight of the nebulised solution some are breathless with impaired lung func- tion, usually predominantly an obstructive (only a 25% increase in the expectorated weight compared with physiotherapy alone). Interest- ventilatory defect, and asthma is frequent with an incidence of 28% (10 of 36) and 39% (nine ingly, nebulised terbutaline also increased the radioaerosol clearance rate in patients withKeywords
