Técnica de drenaje autógeno en pacientes con bronquiectasia.

Bronchiectasis is a pathology that progresses irreversibly, affecting the main bronchi and bronchioles. This eventually leads to the enlargement and deterioration of sections of the airways. An alteration is generated at any point in the mucociliary system, hindering the efficient expulsion of mucus and allowing bacteria to interact prolongedly with the lining of the bronchial epithelium. Autogenic drainage, a controlled breathing technique, stands as the primary treatment for patients with bronchiectasis. It employs various intensities and rates of exhalation to propel mucus upward along the airways, leading to a more spontaneous and natural cough. Originally designed to curb excessive sputum production, autogenic drainage has emerged as a pivotal strategy in the battle against bronchiectasis. The research was conducted with meticulous attention to detail, aiming to analyze the effectiveness of autogenous drainage in patients with bronchiectasis. This involved a systematic search of various scientific databases, including PubMed, Research Gate, Google Scholar, and Scopus, to identify relevant studies published in the last ten years. The comprehensive nature of this search ensures the reliability and validity of the findings. In conclusion, this bibliographic review highlights the essential role of applying autogenous drainage as part of the physiotherapy treatment in an effective intervention in patients with hypersecretion derived from bronchiectasis.
