Abstract
Aims To evaluate the effect of the respiratory physiotherapy techniques in a 4-year old patient who suffered recurrent pneumonia in different sites, these being the lower left lobe, middle right lobe and lower right lobe. Patient and methods The patient was referred by the pneumology department for respiratory physiotherapy treatment in a private clinic. Treatment was given for 3 weeks, performing pulmonary expansion and disobstruction maneuver techniques. Results The auscultation showed a decrease in number of whistling rales, increase in ventilation and disappearance of crepitations. The main spirometric values increased from FEF 25%-75%: 23% to 89%, FEV 1/FVC: 86, 38% to 96%. Uses of drugs decreased and the pulmonary condensations disappeared.
