Treatment for Chronic Bronchitis
Chronic bronchitis refers to inflammation of the lining of airways or bronchial tubes that causes a person to produce mucus and cough over an extended period of time usually most days of a month, three months of a year or for two years in a row.
When found early, treatment for chronic bronchitis may involve smoking cessation or lack of contact with such airborne irritants as industrial dusts and fumes, and air pollution, or certain bacterial or viral infections. Studies have shown that compliance with such chronic bronchitis therapy will stop the coughing in about 50% of smokers after one month and 80% after two months.
However, people often ignore the signs until their lungs are already seriously injured and the means for treating the chronic bronchitis may involve other lung function problems including emphysema. In any case, lung clearance is required for treating chronic bronchitis whether in the early or advanced stage of the disease.
Getting control over the way you treat chronic bronchitis is important for people with busy lives who want to retain their independence. In this instance, a recommended form of chronic bronchitis therapy is use of the Electro Flo® 5000 airway clearance device.
As a way for treating chronic bronchitis, chest percussion, or pounding by hand or with a chest percussor or airway clearance device, stimulates coughing and expelling the congestion accumulating in the air passages. The Electro Flo® 5000 is a less tiring treatment for chronic bronchitis than by hand and its 25 targeted settings that range from tapping to smooth, deep, and fast pulses provide powerful relief.
When combined with the Self –Administrator®, a strap for holding the Electro Flo®, treating chronic bronchitis can be done by the individual and does not require another person to apply the chronic bronchitis therapy. With the Self-Administrator, the person can direct the percussive device precisely where needed on their back as they move the congestion up and out.
Not only are the Electro Flo® 5000 and the Self-Administrator easy to use, but they are compact, lightweight, and highly portable. For the active person, this means that their chronic bronchitis therapy can be undertaken as needed whether at work, when travelling or for any other occasion that gets them out of the house or clinic.
