Efeito Ventilatório da Fisioterapia Intensiva na Síndrome de Guillain-Barré sob Ventilação Mecânica Ventilatory Effect of Intensive Physiotherapy on Guillain-Barré Syndrome under Mechanical Ventilation

Objective: To identify the effect of intensive physiotherapy on the ventilatory evolution of patients with syndrome of Guillain-Barre under mechanical ventilation. Material and Methods: This was a correlational and cross-sectional study with five patients, intubated, presenting with Guillain-Barre syndrome (n = 5) assisted with pressure- controlled mechanical ventilation. This study was based on the quantification of ventilatory, hemodynamic and gasometric parameters, carried out in two phases, before and after physiotherapeutic intervention. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Student’s t-tests, with significance level of 0.05. Results: Hemodinamyc findings demonstrated stability of the patients before and after intervention, with MBP (96.7 ± 4.9 and 95.6 ± 3.4 mmHg); HR (109.9 ± 5.2 and 112.0 ± 4.4, bpm); RR (17.2 ± 1.6 and 15.9 ± 1.3 irpm); Tidal
