8 Treatment Options for Cystic Fibrosis
Air Clearance
Air clearance is a special technique that would help people with cystic fibrosis to loosen mucus, thus making it easier to remove it from the lungs. This is very important to clear your breathing and reduce the risks of infections. During the procedure, a therapist will clap your back and chest while lying, standing, or sitting to free up mucus. Some inhaled medications can also be used to reach your airways. They would be provided by an inhaler or aerosol to help eliminate bacteria and thin mucus, which eventually improves the process of airway clearance. [5]
