Sponsor's own description

When it comes to cardiovascular diseases, surgical or clinical treatment can be cited, and cardiac surgery is considered a complex and large treatment where it involves important organic repercussions that alter the physiological and hemodynamic mechanisms of patients, which can lead to a critical state postoperatively, leading to possible complications that require intensive care at that time. Respiratory complications usually occur frequently in the postoperative period of these surgeries, causing a functional lung capacity to decrease by up to 20%, which may result in atelectasis, pneumonia, pleural effusion, among others. For this reason, physiotherapy usually plays an important role in the treatment of these patients, as it helps to reduce or treat these complications, in addition to promoting motor rehabilitation of patients before myocardial revascularization surgery. For this reason, this study aims to compare the effect of conventional physiotherapy techniques with the management of thoracoabdominal rebalancing in postoperative patients of coronary artery bypass graft. This is a randomized pilot trial in which patients who underwent coronary artery bypass surgery at the Institute of Cardiology of Rio Grande do Sul participate in the study. Patients selected for the control group (conventional physiotherapy) will be exposed to respiratory physiotherapy techniques such as vibrocompression, passive manual expiratory therapy, acceleration of expiratory flow, fractional inspiration in times, diaphragmatic breaths and aspiration when necessary, and patients selected for the intervention group, will appear on the management of thoracoabdominal rebalancing as abdominal supports and / or in the ileo-costal space, inspiratory aid, release of the scapular waist, thoracic swing, release of the pectoralis major and deltoid muscles together with aspiration, if necessary.
