Airway clearance conference presentation

Posted by rits @rits, Nov 21, 2020

A few weeks ago, NTMir presented a series of lectures on relevant topics for patients. Recordings of the lectures are now available on YouTube. The first one is on airway clearance and the presenter is the impressive Dr Pamela McShane. I tried but couldn't do a link here but
you can find it by searching her name and airway clearance. It is rather long because she answers a lot of questions at the end. It is well worth the time because it covers everything we need to know about airway clearance. Also Dr McShane is terrific.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the MAC & Bronchiectasis Support Group.

Thanks rits, here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-EHohMe7II

I listened, and will bookmark this video to send the link when people ask why we do airway clearance.
I especially like that she says her experience of positive NTM cultures declining on 7% saline mirrors the Australian study! Makes me hopeful as I had to quit the meds while my culture was still positive, and substituted 7% saline nebs almost a year ago.
Very helpful!

I find the conferences very informative. Has anybody watched any of the other sessions?

I usually watch all of them - will be setting the laptop up in my sewing room to watch while putting together t-shirt quilt blocks for Christmas gifts.
