Join us for the Practical Workshop “Secretion management – Innovative treatment methods for COPD and Neuromuscolar patients”! Hands-on accounts of major Italian and German excellence centres with the Pegaso and Mini Pegaso Cough and percussion therapy will be given. The workshop will show in-depth practical experience with neuromuscular, quadriplegic and COPD patients and provide an authentic guideline on how to successfully treat the secretion problems of these patients.
