Abstract
Objective: To analyze the influence of physiotherapy on the rehabilitation of patients submitted to chest trauma after chest trauma treated at a Legal Amazon Emergency Hospital. Methods: This is a descriptive, prospective study, through a documentary survey of data collection at the Legal Amazon Emergency Hospital, based on data collection from medical records of patients who underwent thoracic drainage after chest trauma and submitted to physical therapy intervention from March to September 2018. Results: The predominance of patients admitted with chest trauma in this study is from the young adult male population and victims of a car accident. It was noted statistically that the length of hospital stay and physiotherapeutic treatment are directly proportional to a good clinical outcome of the patient, as pulmonary rehabilitation reduced the rates of complications after chest drainage, there was an improvement in lung capacity and reduced hospitalization time. Conclusion: Among the main objectives of pulmonary rehabilitation was the reduction in the rates of complications after chest drainage, with improvement in functional capacity and quality of life. However, there was a statistically significant correlation between length of stay and physiotherapeutic treatment, which are directly proportional.
