Overview
To reduce the impact of the disease, patients should lead a healthy lifestyle, use prophylactic treatment when needed, do vaccinations, and practice physiotherapy strategies.
Bronchiectasis Secondary Prevention
Healthy Lifestyle
Prophylactic Treatment
- National guidelines recommend that patients suffering from three or more exacerbations per year, should be considered for long-term antibiotics.[1]
- Macrolide daily or three times weekly
- Macrolides exhibit anti-bacterial and immunomodulatory effects.[1]
- Amoxicillin 500 mg twice daily or doxycycline 100 mg twice daily for patients who are not candidates for long-term macrolide administration
Vaccination
- There has been some evidence to support that the yearly influenza vaccine reduces morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs with high-risk patients
Physiotherapy Strategies
- Airway clearance
- Postural drainage
- Autogenic drainage
- Active cycle of breathing techniques
- Positive expiratory pressure (PEP)
- Oscillatory PEP devices
- High-frequency chest wall percussion
- Exercise training
- Nutritional counseling
- Education of the patient's disease and how to manage it
- Techniques on how to conserve energy
- Strategies on breathing
- Psychological counseling
