Interventions
Autogenic drainage
Autogenic drainage is an airway clearance technique that attempts to obtain the optimal airflow to evacuate the secretions. This technique uses modulation of inspiratory and expiratory airflow at different breathing level within the vital capacity.
Aerosoltherapy
Aerosolized drugs are individualized for each participants, in line with current standardized practice in our hospital. Those drugs will not be modified for the purpose of this study.
