Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The intervention group will present at the time of hospital discharge, the greater gain of respiratory muscle strength (MIP and MEP) compared to the control group. Respiratory muscle strength will be performed by measuring the maximal inspiratory pressure and maximal expiratory pressure. For this measurement will be used a digital manometer MVD-300 Globalmed brand. ;In the intervention group, a higher gain repiratória muscle strength at the time of hospital discharge, only MIP was observed when compared to the control group, which was verified by the manometer, based on the statement of a variation of at least 5% in pre- and post-intervention measurements.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Days of hospitalization.;There was no significant difference between the days of hospitalization in the control group and intervention group, which was verified by the number of days of hospitalization of each patient, based on the statement of a variation of at least 5% in pre and post measurements intervention. Average of 7.1 days of hospitalization for GC and 6.7 days for GI.
