Respiratory muscle training and functional capacity in patients after Coronary Artery Bypass Graft surgery

Introduction: Coronary artery bypass surgery has been associated with reduced of respiratory muscle strengthening and its subsequent impact on patients' functional capacity. Respiratory muscle training becomes effective for muscle strengthening and can improve functional capacity.
Purpose: The investigation of the effects of respiratory muscle training and functional capacity in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, through systematic review of the international literature.
Material and Methods: The articles were searched in the PubMed, Cochrane and Scopus bibliographic database using the following keywords: «cardiac surgical procedures», «inspiratory muscle training», «respiratory muscle training», «respiratory muscle strength», «CABG», «coronary artery bypass grafting», «functional capacity». The keywords were used alone and in combination. The selection criteria for the article search were the following: a) published studies in the last 10 years, b) published studies in English and c) patients aged above 18 years, of both genders.
Results: A total of 133 studies were initially found, of which 9 were finally selected. Postoperative respiratory muscle training, or more specifically the inspiratory muscles, has a protective effect in preventing the loss of functional capacity in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery and it has been associated with reduced of respiratory muscle strengthening and with a decrease in length of hospital stay. Inspiratory muscle training combined with exercise training or based on anaerobic threshold leads to a greater
reduction in the loss of the inspiratory muscle strength, improving the sub maximal functional capacity of patients.
Conclusions: Postoperative respiratory muscle training, or more specifically the inspiratory muscles, is effective in improving functional capacity and inspiratory muscle strength in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery.
