Autogenic Drainage (AD)
Autogenic Drainage (AD) means “self-drainage” and is an airway clearance technique which uses controlled breathing at different lung volumes to loosen, mobilize and move secretions in three stages towards the larger central airways. AD can take some practice and is usually recommended for people age 8 and older.
