Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Thoracoabdominal expandability assessed by cirtometry, with measuring tape type tape, in three points: axillary, xiphoid appendix and umbilical scar, with an increase of at least 1cm in the measurements. Data collected immediately before and 15 minutes after the intervention. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Maximum respiratory pressures, assessed by means of manovacuometry with analogue manovacuometer. Data collected immediately before and 15 minutes after the intervention. An increase of at least 1 cmH2O is expected.;Vital capacity assessed by ventilometry, using an analog ventilometer. Data collected immediately before and 15 minutes after the intervention. An increase of at least 0.1 liters is expected in the pre- and post-intervention measures. | — |
