Although incentive spirometry is commonly used to avoid pulmonary complications in cardiac surgery patients, the breath-stacking technique has been proposed as an alternative to increase pulmonary volumes in the post-operative period.
Objective: To compare inspiratory volume and electromyographic activity of respiratory muscles during breath stacking technique and incentive spirometry in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
The purpose of the present study are:

| Breath Stacking | Behavioral | To perform the BS maneuver, a silicone mask containing a one-way valve was attached to the patient's face. Once the mask was adjusted to allow only inspiration (the expiratory branch remained occluded), the patient was asked to make successive inspiratory efforts during 20 seconds. |

| Inspiratory volume and muscle recruitment during breath-stacking and incentive spirometry techniques in postoperative cardiac patients | Within 2 days after cardiac surgery |
