Objective: Evaluate the respiratory functionality (respiratory muscle strength and peak expiratory flow-PEF) of pre, postoperative<br>and post-hospital discharge of cardiac surgery patients at a Regional Hospital in the south of Minas Gerais. Methods: The sample consisted of<br>11 subjects: 6 women (54.4%) and 5 men (45.46%), with mean age of ± 60 years. The mean height, weight and BMI were respectively: ±1.61m,<br>±71.08kg and ±26.89. Results: The values of the functional variables were lower than expected; men had the highest values of maximal<br>inspiratory pressure (MIP), maximal expiratory pressure (MEP) and PEF at the 3 moments; there was correlation rs &lt; 1 p &lt; 0.01 of PRE MIP and<br>POS MIP; PRE MIP and POS MEP; third day MIP and PRE MIP; and POS MEP and PRE MEP. Conclusion: men had the highest values of<br>respiratory functional variables. The analysis of the variables at the 3 moments showed that after hospital discharge most of them reduced their<br>values. The post hospital discharge should be a concern of professionals assisting cardiac surgery patients.</p> ER -
