5. Conclusions
HEART DISEASE
Both analyzed maneuvers are capable of promoting airway clearance through the safe removal of secretions. Therefore, we observed that the techniques can be used in day-to-day physical therapy sessions for mechanically ventilated patients with heart disease. However, PEEP-ZEEP should preferably be used, since it can be performed without disconnecting the mechanical ventilation circuit, which reduces the risk of respiratory contamination.
