Effectiveness of respiratory physiotherapy in post-operative chest surgery patients to prevent pulmonary complications
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2020-01-05) Lazo Trujillo, Patricia; Pisfil Fajardo, Jenny Maribel; Fernández Rengifo, Werther Fernando
Objective: To systematize the evidence on the effectiveness of respiratory physiotherapy in postoperative patients who have undergone thoracic surgery. Materials and methods: Among the 10 articles systematically reviewed on the effectiveness of respiratory physiotherapy in preventing pulmonary complications in postoperative thoracic surgery patients, high-quality and high-strength articles were selected from Scielo, PubMed, and Dynaed, all within the healthcare field. The studies include systematic reviews (20% - 2/10), randomized clinical trials (50% - 5/10), quasi-experimental studies (10% - 1/10), cohort studies (10% - 1/10), and case-control studies (10% - 1/10). These studies were conducted in Spain (30%), Australia (20%), Italy (10%), Japan (10%), Iran (10%), the United Kingdom (10%), and Sweden (10%). Results: The review of these scientific articles shows that 80% of them support the effectiveness of respiratory physiotherapy in postoperative thoracic surgery patients. They highlight the importance of respiratory physiotherapy and its benefits in preventing postoperative pulmonary complications, reducing hospital stays, and decreasing healthcare costs. Conclusions: 80% of the studies revealed the effectiveness of respiratory physiotherapy through respiratory training exercises, which reduce the presence of pulmonary complications in postoperative thoracic surgery patients. It is thus determined that respiratory exercises before and after surgery are crucial. However, 10% of the articles using incentives such as an incentive spirometer did not present significant evidence of effectiveness, and 10% indicated that respiratory physiotherapy was not necessary.

Overload of caregivers of postoperative adult patients in thoracic surgery at Edgardo Rebagliati Martins Hospital, 2019
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2020-10-30) Huari Huaman, Janeth; Gonzales Saldaña, Susan Haydee
Objective: To assess the caregiver burden in adult postoperative thoracic surgery patients at Edgardo Rebagliati Martins Hospital, 2019. Materials and Methods: This study follows a quantitative approach, with a descriptive-cross-sectional methodological design. The technique used in the study was the survey, and the measurement instrument was the Zarit Burden Scale, which includes 22 questions grouped into 3 dimensions. Results: Regarding caregiver burden, 53.6% of caregivers reported a mild burden, followed by 32.1% with no burden, and 14.3% with intense burden. In the interpersonal dimension, 61.7% reported a mild burden; in the expectations dimension, 67.9% had a mild burden category; and in the caregiver impact dimension, 72.6% also reported a mild burden. Conclusions: In terms of caregiver burden, mild burden predominated, and in all dimensions, mild burden was the most prevalent.
