Objective: This review focuses on evaluating literature for the use of inhaled mucolytics (hypertonic saline, mannitol, and dornase alfa), inhaled antibiotics (tobramycin, aztreonam, colistin, and amikacin), and inhaled corticosteroids in pediatric noncystic fibrosis bronchiectasis.
Data Sources: A literature search via PubMed was conducted using the search terms "non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis," "primary ciliary dyskinesia," and "bronchiectasis" in combination with each inhaled agent of interest.
Study Selection And Data Extraction: Studies were included if they were specific to patients with a clinical diagnosis of noncystic fibrosis bronchiectasis published from 1998 to July 2024.
