Summary

The accumulation of secretions in the bronchopulmonary air network promotes the detriment of respiratory functions generating hypoxia and causing a decrease in the cardiac output requiring the use of mechanical ventilation and hemodynamic support. It is intended to control the accumulation of secretions by means of Respiratory Pediatric Physiotherapy (RPP) and to evaluate its effectiveness counting on biological plausibility.

Detailed description

The OBJECTIVE of this research protocol is to evaluate the effectiveness of RPP compared to postural drainage plus compression to the muscle belly of the upper limbs, as an adjuvant treatment for children with pneumonia. It is expected that the clinical severity decreases by 1.5 in the Wang score (a modification of the Silverman score), with a standard deviation of 2.6 points and a decrease of two days in the hospital stay with a α 0.05 in a one-tail test, a P of 80% and a 95.5% confidence interval.

Conditions

• Pneumonia Childhood
• Rehabilitation
• Recovery of Function

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Respiratory Pediatric Physiotherapy	Prolonged slow expiration Tracheal pumping Controlled expiratory flow exercises Forced expiration technique
OTHER	Control Group	Will be subject to muscle compressions of the upper limbs. Both groups will receive the usual treatment for pneumonia prescribed by their treating doctor.
