Relação do comportamento da força muscular com as complicações respiratórias na cirurgia cardíaca / Relation between respiratory muscle strength with respiratory complication on the heart surgery

OBJETIVO: Verificar o comportamento da força muscular respiratória na cirurgia cardíaca e sua relação com as complicações respiratórias pós-operatórias. MÉTODOS: Participaram do estudo 63 indivíduos submetidos à cirurgia cardíaca. No dia da cirurgia, foi realizada a avaliação da força muscular respiratória e, no pós-operatório, os pacientes foram acompanhados pela equipe multidisciplinar e submetidos à intervenção fisioterapêutica duas vezes ao dia, seguindo o protocolo padrão do hospital. No quinto dia de pós-operatório, foi realizada a reavaliação e análise das complicações respiratórias. RESULTADOS: Apesar da diminuição significativa da força muscular inspiratória (P= 0,001) e expiratória (P=0,0001) no pós-operatório, não foi observada relação estatisticamente significativa entre a força muscular inspiratória (P=0,58) e expiratória (P=0,4) pré-operatória e a presença de complicações pós-operatórias. CONCLUSÃO: A força muscular respiratória pré-operatória não pode ser utilizada como preditor de complicações respiratórias pós-operatória.

OBJECTIVE: To check the respiratory muscle strength in cardiac surgery and the relationship with the postoperative pulmonary complications. METHODS: Sixty-tree adult's patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery were enrolled in this study. In the day of the surgery all patients did the respiratory muscle strength test. In the postoperative a multidisciplinary team took care all patients and they receive physiotherapy treatment twice a day following the usual care of the hospital. In the fifth day after surgery, the patients repeat the respiratory muscle strength test and were examined postoperative pulmonary complications. RESULTS: A significant lower inspiratory muscle strength (P=0.001) and expiratory muscle strength (P=0.0001) was found in the postoperative, however it wasn't statistics significantly the relationship between the inspiratory muscle strength (P=0.58) and expiratory muscle strength (P=0.4) preoperative with postoperative pulmonary complication. CONCLUSIONS: The respiratory strength preoperative couldn't be a predictor of postoperative pulmonary complication.
