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." *Basavaraj A, DeKoven M, Shah D, et al.
