Bronchiectasis - investigation and management

The latest episode of Curbside Consult focuses on investigation and management of bronchiectasis.

Co-hosts Dr Hitasha Rupani (ERS Learning Resources Director and Chest Physician at the University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust, UK) and Prof. Dominick Shaw (Professor of Respiratory Medicine at the University of Leicester, UK) are joined by Prof. Stefano Aliberti, Professor of Respiratory Medicine at Humanitas University, Milan, Italy.

Hitasha, Dominick and Stefano discuss the case of a 38-year-old female smoker with asthma who was diagnosed with bronchiectasis five years ago. She has a worsening cough and feels unwell. Pseudomonas has been isolated from her sputum.

Ask the Expert - formally Curbside Consult - is a video discussion series. In each episode, two experts have an informal discussion or a 'curbside consultation' - an informal process, well-accepted in medical practice, where physicians seek advice from colleagues to assist in the management of a particular issue for a particular patient.
