Brief summary

Randomized Clinical Trial to evaluate the use of different techniques of physical therapy on recovery of functional capacity, pulmonary function and respiratory muscle strength in the period of hospital stay after coronary artery bypass graft.

Interventions

OTHERCombination of four techniques of physiotherapy

The patients receive conventional physiotherapy, expiratory positive airway pressure, inspiratory muscle training and physical exercise. Twice daily for seven days

OTHERCombination of three techniques of physiotherapy

Patients receive conventional physiotherapy, expiratory positive airway pressure and physical exercise. Twice daily for seven days

OTHERCombination of two techniques of physiotherapy

Patients receive conventional physiotherapy,expiratory positive airway pressure respiratory muscle training. Twice daily for seven days

OTHERstandard therapy

Patients receive conventional physiotherapy and expiratory positive airway pressure. Twice daily for seven days
