Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica, 11/02/09
Orman J et al. – A variety of chest physiotherapy techniques are used following abdominal and thoracic surgery to prevent or reduce post–operative complications. Breathing techniques with a positive expiratory pressure (PEP) are used to increase airway pressure and improve pulmonary function. Today, there is scarce scientific evidence that PEP treatment is better than other physiotherapy breathing techniques in patients undergoing abdominal or thoracic surgery. There is a lack of studies investigating the effect of PEP over placebo or no physiotherapy treatment.
