Today’s featured artist is Jewelia Sky with her submission titled! “Just One More Breath”.
Airway clearance therapy (ACT) is an important treatment approach for patients with impaired ciliary function or other difficulties in clearing the lungs of mucus and harmful particles. Evidence indicates that ACT minimizes the effects of lung obstructions in afflicted patients, as discussed in the review article, “Airway Clearance Therapy: Finding the Evidence.”
Many different types of ACT are in use, including breathing techniques, postural drainage, positive expiratory pressure (PEP) mechanical devices, and high-frequency chest wall oscillation (HFCWO), also known as high-frequency chest compression (HFCC). Patients are treated with HFCWO using special inflatable vests that apply cyclical pressure at a frequency between 2 and 25 times per second (Hz). The oscillations are intended to break up and mobilize airway secretions, making it easier for the patients to rid their lungs of obstructions. ~ Airway Clearance Therapy Helps in Range of Lung Diseases, by Maureen Newman
The PCD Artist Project is a collaborative effort by artist to raise awareness for PCD or primary ciliary dyskinesia and support the PCD Smiles program. Each artist who submitted art work to the project either has PCD or has a PCD friend or family member.
