Nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) lung disease is a chronic, progressive condition caused by nontuberculous mycobacteria. NTM lung disease occurs more frequently in older adults and people with other lung diseases, like bronchiectasis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
While the hot summer months may affect the everyday management of your lung health, it doesn’t have to keep you from living your fullest life. Here are a few tips to help you find the breathing spaces you need this summer.
Expert insights from UK respiratory specialists and school nurses on fall and winter asthma triggers and advancements in asthma care and innovative technologies supporting better management among children and adolescents.
Depending on the pMDI/spacer system chosen the delivery of medication can vary significantly and as a result will have implications on the potential carbon footprint.
In this case, the use of the AeroChamber Plus* Flow-Vu* VHC could potentially reduce the carbon footprint by three fold compared to the alternative spacers.
By maximizing the amount of each puff reaching the lungs the patient is likely to be able to get relief sooner and reduce the amount of puffs needed.
Post-operative pulmonary complications (PPCs) are a major burden to the healthcare system. A new real-world study published in Pulmonary Therapy, indicates significant reductions in costs when using the AEROBIKA*oscillating positive expiratory pressure (OPEP) device in the postoperative care setting.1
Manage asthma during wildfires by monitoring air quality, indoor cleanliness, limiting outdoor exposure, wearing masks, consulting healthcare providers, and optimizing medication with AeroChamber VHC* and AeroChamber 2Go*.

As current MDIs contain hydrofluorocarbon propellants, it would be beneficial to find ways to reduce carbon emissions without compromising patient safety.
This lab study investigated a way to optimize the modelled lung dose per actuation while at the same time minimizing the carbon emissions from the MDI

As the seasons change and the weather gets warmer, people with respiratory conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may face new challenges in managing their symptoms. Springtime can bring increased pollen and air pollution levels, which can trigger flare-ups and exacerbations in people with these conditions. However, with some proactive steps, it is possible to manage asthma and COPD effectively during the spring.
