In this review I´ll talk about the respiratory fisiotherapy. This is a series of procedures used to support and complement in the treatment of respiratory diseases and all the condition of lungs disfunction.
These procedures include different breathing techniques, such us chest compressions and vibrations, position changes to facilitate the ventilation, bronquial secretion drainage and the use of oxygen therapy equipment.
The purpose of this review is to investigate the effectiveness and relevance of all manual operations and the use of oxygen equipment in the treatment of respiratory diseases in children and elderly people.
The methodology or the steps used to obtain the information was: go to med.uchile.cl, biblioteca, database, choose ScienceDirect (Elsevier) and I chose my key words: respiratory fisiotherapy, respiratory diseases and found two articles relevant to the topic.
A large percentage of the study groups (children and elderly people) have shown a marked improvement in breathing capacity, expectoration and incorporation into their daily life activities, after attending sessions of respiratory physiotherapy.
This review show us the incredible impact of our work in the treatment of people, of different ages, with respiratory diseases and the need to further improve the management of the profession in this area.
