Figures
- Figure 1
Mean±sd annual mortality rate and median age at death in the Swedish cystic fibrosis population [5].
- Figure 2
Current and estimated survival rates of four different cohorts of Swedish cystic fibrosis patients [5]. Vertical ticks indicate estimates and years indicate patient birth date.
- Figure 3
Airway clearance therapy based on physical exercise combined with assisted autogenic drainage, performed in an infant.
- Figure 4
The physiological airway clearance treatment strategy illustrated schematically. The four numbered steps are included in a cycle that is repeated over and over again. TLC: total lung capacity; VT: tidal volume; FRC: functional residual capacity; RV: residual volume.
- Figure 5
A severely ill patient (forced expiratory volume in 1 s ∼25% predicted) performing physical exercise with supplementary oxygen, while on the list for lung transplantation.
