They have an assessment more significant than 6 points according to the PEDro scale; the original articles were found in languages such as English, Portuguese and Spanish, using the information from these studies allows this research to corroborate the effectiveness of respiratory physiotherapy in postsurgical patients. The data used to obtain the information for the present study were Latindex, PubMed, Scielo, Lilacs, European Journal Respiratory, and virtual libraries of university repositories. The articles collected were from the year 2000 to the present year 2020 due to a scarce bibliography regarding the topic corresponding to Respiratory Physiotherapy.
