Abstract

The thought that flickers almost as a reflex when we think about airway clearance techniques in bronchiectasis is "where is the evidence?" A solid foundation for the efficacy of treatments should be based on randomised controlled trials. Currently, the evidence base is sparse but fortunately the field has not been abandoned. ELTGOL therapy is one of the best evidence-based airway clearance techniques for bronchiectasis http://ow.ly/vXmU30gZUSR
