Pcd Foundation Case Study

According to the PCD Foundation, there are three categories to consider, "monitoring airway health", "therapies for lung disease", and "therapies for upper airways disease". There are two subcategories in the category of monitoring airway health, lower air (the lungs) and upper airway (the sinuses and ears). The of treatments in PCD is to slow the disease down. One is to do this is to monitor the patient's health and stop an illness from happening or see if the disease is getting worse. There are four ways of doing this, sputum cultures, pulmonary function test, imaging, and bronchoscopy. PCD is a progressive lung disease which means it has the potential of getting worse. For this reason, routine cultures are
recommended.
