Abstract
Background. The aim of this research paper is to describe the influence of early, post-hospitalization physiotherapy on ventilatory lung function in patients after CABG. Material and methods. The effectiveness of physiotherapy was assessed on the basis of examination of the respiratory system, in 36 patients. Results. The decrease of ventilatory indicators before post-hospitalization physiotherapy indicates the negative influence of CABG on ventilatory lung function of these patients. Conclusions. The improvement of ventilatory lung function, expressed by significant increases of indicators MEF50, MEF 25-75, PEF, FVC and FEV1 in our patients indicates that physiotherapy, including elements of breathing exercises, comprises the crucial element in the treatment patients after CABG.

Key words:
