Summary

After thoracic surgical intervention, patients often feel intense pain with respiratory movements reduction making coughing less effective. The air stacking improves peak of expiratory flow (PEF) and cough peak flow (CPF) in neuro myopathies, thus raising the hypothesis that may also be effective in patients undergoing thoracic surgeries. Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness, safety and feasibility of air stacking on postoperative PEF and CPF in patients undergoing thoracic surgeries. Methods: Patients undergoing thoracic surgery underwent air stacking on 3th PO. Dyspnea, pain, SpO2, maximum inspirational pressure (MIP), maximum expiratory pressure (MEP), PEF and CPF were evaluated in pre and postoperatory.

Interventions

DEVICE

Air Stacking Technique

To perform the air stacking technique, an air manual breathing unit (AMBU) was used, attached to a unidirectional valve and nasal/oral mask. For each AMBU manual compression (three in the total), the patient was instructed to breathe in deeply and hold the air inside the lungs.
