Regular airway clearance is an integral component of cystic fibrosis care and of critical importance to lung health. Exercise and standardized chest physiotherapy are accepted airway clearance techniques in cystic fibrosis. Different airway clearance techniques are available, but there is no evidence that one technique or a combination is superior. Oscillatory positive expiratory pressure with the Flutter® is a widely used airway clearance technique in the European countries and has been shown to favourably alter sputum viscoelasticity in cystic fibrosis.
