Brief Summary

Pulmonary mechanics are further disturbed after cardiothoracic surgery that manifests like restrictive pathology, which may persist for weeks to months postoperatively. This experimental aimed to investigate the efficacy of a positive end-expiratory pressure device on maximum expiratory pressure, maximum voluntary ventilation, and dyspnea index in patients who underwent valve surgery.
