RESUMO
A cirurgia abdominal causa uma série de complicações pulmonares após o processo cirúrgico. Assim, faz-se necessário um tratamento precoce adequado objetivando minimizar as complicações no período pós-operatório. Objetivamos avaliar o efeito do atendimento fisioterapêutico no pós-operatório imediato de pacientes submetidos à cirurgia abdominal. Este foi um ensaio clínico randomizado, no qual um grupo recebeu atendimento fisioterapêutico na sala de recuperação e, posteriormente, nas enfermarias, e outro grupo o recebeu somente nas enfermarias. Concluímos que a fisioterapia realizada no pós-operatório imediato reduziu a perda da função pulmonar, a perda da força muscular ventilatória e o tempo de internação na sala de recuperação.
ABSTRACT
A series of pulmonary complications can occur after abdominal surgery. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce appropriate treatment early in order to minimize postoperative complications. The objective of the present study was to evaluate patients submitted to abdominal surgery in terms of the effect of physical therapy in the immediate postoperative period. This was a randomized clinical trial, in which one group of patients was submitted to physical therapy in the postoperative recovery room and, subsequently, in the infirmary, whereas another group was submitted to physical therapy in the infirmary exclusively. We conclude that physical therapy performed in the immediate postoperative period minimizes losses in lung function and respiratory muscle strength, as well as shortening recovery room stays.
