Conditions

Atelectasis

Brief summary

Evaluate the effect of chest manual compression technique (CCT) in the variables of oxygenation, hemodynamic and respiratory work in infants with respiratory diseases that are associated with atelectasis.

Interventions

OTHERCHEST COMPRESSION TECHNIQUE (CCT)

The CCT was held with the placement of one of the hands were not engaged in. The following has been applied a symmetric oblique direction, pressure from top to bottom on the half thorax rib cage so that it went according to the complacency of the ribcage.
