Summary

The survival of patients with lesions in the central nervous system is usually accompanied by physical and mental sequelae. These impairments favor the prolonged restriction to the bed, which may contribute with changes in respiratory function. In this context, lung re-expansion techniques are used to prevent or treat the various respiratory complications.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

EPAP

The EPAP will be applied with a Spring Load Valve Resistor (Vital Signs, Totowa, NJ, USA), adjusted with a pressure of 10 cmH2O. The Spring Load Valve Resistor will be connected to the expiratory branch of the T-tube. Duration of intervention: 5 minutes.

OTHER

Breath Stacking

The BS will be performed by a T-tube with a one-way inspiratory valve and the expiratory branch occluded. The expiratory occlusion is maintain until observed the presence of a plateau in the impedance plethysmogram by EIT, which corresponds to the absence of inspired air displacement or when a maximum time of 40 seconds was attained. Durantion of intervention:Three BS interventions will be performed at one minute intervals between them.
