Timeline
Interventions
This daily respiratory exercise was performed from the 2nd day following surgery by using a linear pressure resistance device (Threshold ® IMT - Health Scan Products; USA)was initially set at 40% of the maximal inspiratory pressure, obtained in the 2nd post-operative day, being adjusted to every new maximal inspiratory pressure measurement.
In placebo muscular training the daily respiratory exercise was performed from the 2nd day following surgery by using a linear pressure resistance device (Threshold ® IMT - Health Scan Products; USA)no load until the 30th post-operative day.
