Preoperative physiotherapy in prevention of pulmonary complications in pediatric cardiac surgery Fisioterapia pré-operatória na prevenção das complicações pulmonares em cirurgia cardíaca pediátrica Josiane Marques FELCAR1, José Carlos dos Santos GUITTI2, Antônio César MARSON3, Jefferson Rosa CARDOSO 4 RBCCV 44205-1004 Abstract Objective: To evaluate the occurrence and risk of pulmonary complications in children who underwent preand postoperative physiotherapeutic intervention in cardiac surgeries, as well as to compare these patients to those who underwent only postoperative physiotherapeutic intervention. Methods: A randomized clinical trial was performed with 135 patients from 6 years of age and younger with congenital heart disease who had undergone cardiac surgery.
