Influence of Different Physical Therapy Resources Application After Reduction Stomach Surgery

Summary

The aim of this study will be to investigate the effects of using physical therapy resources in the postoperative morbidly obese individuals undergoing gastroplasty.

It is believed that the application of these various features of physiotherapy after abdominal surgery may contribute differently in restoring lung function and prevention of pulmonary complications and can thus identify the resources that can contribute more effectively in post-operative bariatric surgery.

Conditions

• Pulmonary Atelectasis
• Respiratory Tract Diseases
• Pathological Conditions, Signs and Symptoms

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Continuous positive airway pressure

The use of positive pressure airway seeking the prevention or treatment of hypoxic respiratory failure, improved arterial oxygenation, restoration or maintenance of lung volume reduction and atelectasis, decrease the work of breathing, decreased dyspnea index and increased residual volume.

PROCEDURE

Incentive spirometry

The volume of incentive spirometry (Voldyne ®) is able to provide increased transpulmonary pressure gradient, which can prevent or reverse atelectasis.

PROCEDURE

Breath Stacking

The method allowed to obtain a maximum lung expansion with minimal patient compliance.

PROCEDURE

Expiratory Positive Airway Pressure

The use of positive pressure airway seeking the prevention or treatment of hypoxic respiratory failure, improved arterial oxygenation, restoration or maintenance of lung volume reduction and atelectasis, decrease the work of breathing, decreased dyspnea index and increased residual volume.

PROCEDURE

Intermittent positive pressure breathing

The use of positive pressure airway seeking the prevention or treatment of hypoxic respiratory failure, improved arterial oxygenation, restoration or maintenance of lung volume reduction and atelectasis, decrease the work of breathing, decreased dyspnea index and increased residual volume.

PROCEDURE

Bi-level positive airway pressure

The use of positive pressure airway seeking the prevention or treatment of hypoxic respiratory failure, improved arterial oxygenation, restoration or maintenance of lung volume reduction and atelectasis, decrease the work of breathing, decreased dyspnea index and increased residual volume.
