Abstract

Introduction: Respiratory physiotherapy is a therapeutic alternative that acts both in the prevention and treatment of postoperative pulmonary complications and aims at an early reestablishment of pulmonary function. Objectives: To discuss the most recent information, in specific literature, about respiratory physiotherapy in the postoperative period of high abdominal surgery, as well as to confront and present opinions of several authors and studies. Materials and methods: It is characterized as a bibliographic research of the descriptive type, based on a collection of data carried out between January 2017 and March 2017. The bibliographic survey was made based on the access to the database of SciElo, PubMed, LILACS, Bireme, BVS and FIEP Bulletin. Inclusion criteria were to select studies that approached the subject in question (such as clinical trials) until the year 2017. In its turn, exclusion criteria were: articles published before 2005; articles with an exclusive focus on preoperative training; articles exclusively for the evaluation of pulmonary volumes; articles that dealt only with the pulmonary complications resulting from high abdominal surgeries; and articles classified as review studies. Results: Six of the studies found incentive spirometry, four treated conventional respiratory kinesiotherapy, three presented mechanical ventilation (one by the invasive method and the other two by the positive expiratory pressure mask), and seven analyzed respiratory physiotherapy in a generalized manner. Conclusion: With this study, it was possible to discuss the main techniques of respiratory physiotherapy used in the postoperative period of high abdominal surgery, but it was not possible to choose a therapy as the most essential for the treatment. On the other hand, all studies emphasize the importance of physiotherapy for the reduction or prevention of pulmonary complications.
