Brief Summary

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.

Study Arms (2)

No Intervention: GROUP CONTROL

NO INTERVENTION

Patients selected for the control group (conventional physiotherapy) will be exposed to respiratory physiotherapy techniques such as vibrocompression, manual passive expiratory therapy, expiratory flow acceleration, fractional inspiration in times, diaphragmatic breaths and aspiration when required

Active Comparator: INTERVENTION GROUP

EXPERIMENTAL

The patients selected for the intervention group will be submitted to the handling of thoracoabdominal rebalancing as abdominal supports and / or in the ileo-costal space, inspiratory help, scapular waist release, thoracic swing, pectoralis major muscle release and deltoid together with aspiration if necessary.

Other: Thoracoabdominal rebalancing

Interventions

the patients selected for the intervention group will be submitted to the handling of thoracoabdominal rebalancing as abdominal supports and / or in the ileo-costal space, inspiratory help, scapular waist release, thoracic swing, pectoralis major muscle release and deltoid together with aspiration if necessary.

Active Comparator: INTERVENTION GROUP

Model Details: This is a pilot randomized clinical trial. The randomization technique for proposed proposals will be performed using a computer program (www.random.org) containing the coded distribution. The allocation confidentiality will be guaranteed by a randomization list that will be in a remote place, which will prevent the researcher from identifying which intervention will be specified by each patient. The generation of the sequence of numbers will be performed by a researcher "blind" to the study, after selection of the patients by the inclusion criteria. The sequence of numbers one used for randomization will be kept confidential until the exact moment of the beginning of the study. The randomization of the subjects in the proposed groups will be done in two blocks, in which the program will randomly distribute each new participant to one of the blocks: conventional physical therapy group and thoracoabdominal rebalancing group.
