Summary

The sternotomy has some influence on the respiratory system after cardiac surgery, considerably increasing the risk of perioperative and postoperative breathing. There is respiratory preparation before cardiac surgery using local physiotherapeutic guidelines.

Detailed description

The aim of the study is to have a quantification of this preparation spirometry: before starting the preparation and at the end of the preparation (right before surgery) by comparing the spirometric and pulse oximetry information. The prospective study will be conducted on 25 patients, who will be selected consecutively without randomization.
