Patient and Caregiver Perceptions of Airway Clearance Methods Used for Cystic Fibrosis [PDF]
Canadian Respiratory Journal, 2023 Introduction. Cystic Fibrosis Foundation guidelines recommend people with CF perform daily airway clearance. This can be difficult for patients, as some find it time consuming or uncomfortable. Data comparing airway clearance methods are limited.

Personalising airway clearance in chronic suppurative lung diseases: a scoping review [PDF]
ERJ Open Research, 2023 Background Personalised airway clearance techniques are commonly recommended to augment mucus clearance in chronic suppurative lung diseases. It is unclear what current literature tells us about how airway clearance regimens should be personalised.

A physiologically-motivated compartment-based model of the effect of inhaled hypertonic saline on mucociliary clearance and liquid transport in cystic fibrosis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Cystic Fibrosis (CF) lung disease is characterized by liquid hyperabsorption, airway surface dehydration, and impaired mucociliary clearance (MCC). Herein, we present a compartment-based mathematical model of the airway that extends the resolution of ...
