National survey on pediatric respiratory physiotherapy units: primary ciliary dyskinesia and non-CF bronchiectasis
The involved centers are heterogeneous in terms of distribution and treatments offered. The role of respiratory physiotherapists still seems to be fragmented. This first descriptive analysis of the physiotherapy units and the main differences between centers opens queries on the clinical approaches used for pediatric patients with PCD in terms of respiratory physiotherapy. However,in response to evolving treatment needs, a more specialized and standardized approach to patient care is required.
