Summary

This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of a single session of positive expiratory pressure and of breath stacking technique in patients after cardiac surgery. The same patients will receive the two interventions, with an interval of 24 hours, and the acute effect of each will be verifed.

Conditions

  • Complication, Postoperative
  • Cardiac Complication

Interventions

OTHER

Breath Stacking

The patients will perform the maneuver through successive inspiratory efforts for 20 s. Subsequently, the expiratory branch will be unobstructed to allow expiration. This maneuver will be repeated 5 times in each series, with intervals of 30 seconds between them. The technique will be performed with the trunk inclined 30º in relation to the horizontal plane, in 3 series, with interval of 2 min completing 15 min of therapy.

OTHER

Expiratory Positive Airway Pressure

Patients will perform exhalation of air through a facial mask containing an extrinsic positive expiratory pressure valve with a defined load of 10 cmH2O for 5 min. During the application of the technique the patients will have a trunk inclined 30º and will be stimulated to breathe normally, without effort or deep and fast breaths.
