Breathe Again: An Effective Therapy for Patients with Bronchiectasis

Bronchiectasis is a condition where the lungs’ airways are abnormally stretched and scarred, resulting in mucus buildup. Symptoms can include recurring cough, chest congestion, coughing up yellow or green mucus, and recurrent flare-ups/infections. Keeping airways clear and clearing the mucus out is important to prevent bacteria from building up, and lung infections from forming. The Vest^® Airway Clearance System from Hillrom is designed for both children and adults who have a hard time effectively clearing excess mucus. Using The Vest^® System therapy to remove lung secretions can reduce the risk of hospitalizations by 65% and flare-ups by 66%*. Pulmonologist Dr. Eric Seifer discusses the common signs and symptoms, and the importance of early diagnosis and treatment. Plus, we’ll meet Patti who found success with The Vest^® System saying, “It’s a dream come true to breathe again.”

Through High Frequency Chest Wall Oscillation technology, The Vest^® Airway Clearance System dislodges mucus from the bronchial walls, and mobilizes secretions and mucus from the smaller to larger airways where it can be cleared by coughing or suctioning.
