Therefore effective airway clearance techniques (ACT) is the key step in its management. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of 3% hypertonic saline (HS) pre\u2010medication in ACT in children with non cystic fibrosis (non\u2010CF) bronchiectasis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this randomized crossover control trial five to 15 year old children, diagnosed with non\u2010CF bronchiectasis were randomized either to receive 200\u2009\u00b5g of inhaled salbutamol followed by HS nebulization (test) or only 200\u2009\u00b5g of inhaled salbutamol, before chest physiotherapy which is the conventional ACT (controls) for 8 weeks. Inhaled salbutamol was administered via a pressurized metered dosed inhaler with a valved holding chamber.
