Key Points about Bronchiectasis:
- Definition: Bronchiectasis is a chronic lung condition where the bronchial tubes become permanently widened, leading to mucus accumulation, recurrent infections, and reduced lung function.
- Causes: Causes include chronic infections, cystic fibrosis, immunodeficiencies, and inflammatory diseases.
- Symptoms: Symptoms include persistent cough, production of large amounts of sputum, shortness of breath, and frequent lung infections.
- Diagnosis: Diagnosis is confirmed through a CT scan showing dilated airways and other structural abnormalities.
- Management: Treatment focuses on clearing mucus (physiotherapy, mucolytics), managing infections (antibiotics), and addressing underlying causes.
- Complications: If not properly managed, bronchiectasis can lead to respiratory failure, hemoptysis, and chronic infections.
