Exercise and Airway Clearance Techniques in Cystic Fibrosis
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine"
DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-1758729
Abstract: Abstract Exercise and airway clearance techniques (ACTs) have been a cornerstone of treatment for people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF) for many decades. Exercise may confer both respiratory and nonrespiratory benefits for pwCF, with greater exercise… read more here.
