The flowchart for selecting patients included in the study is shown
below (Figure 1). The groups showed homogeneity in the preoperative
period, with no statistically significant differences, both for
demographic and clinical variables (Table 1). During the research
period, no patient who underwent inspiratory muscle training experienced
adverse events.
