RUBIO LOPEZ, Nataly Estefania et al. Inspiratory and Buteyko muscular training physiotherapeutic techniques in children with bronchial asthma. Rev Cuba Reumatol [online]. 2022, vol.24, n.2  Epub 01-Out-2022. ISSN 1817-5996.

Bronchial asthma is a chronic respiratory disease that generates high rates of disability, especially in children. The application of respiratory physiotherapy constitutes an adjunct in the therapeutic schemes of the disease; in this sense, inspiratory muscle training and the Buteyko method constitute respiratory techniques that have been reported as useful in the treatment of bronchial asthma. The present investigation aimed to describe the advantages offered by both methods as therapeutic regimens for children with bronchial asthma. The main results are a series of studies that show the advantages of the implementation of these methods to improve different components of the etiopathogenesis and clinical manifestations of bronchial asthma. These studies show that the indistinct application of one or both methods improves different aspects, among which the improvement of lung volumes and capacities, lung function, ventilatory muscle strength and respiratory mechanics stand out. Additionally, they improve some elements related to respiratory mechanics such as the use of mouth breathing. It is concluded that the performance of respiratory physiotherapy in children with bronchial asthma constitutes a viable and effective alternative in the improvement of various parameters related to this disease. Several studies show that the use of these respiratory techniques improves respiratory capacity, tone and trophism of respiratory muscles, and respiratory mechanics. The positive results demonstrate the need to increase the implementation of inspiratory muscle training and the Buteyko method as a therapeutic scheme in children with bronchial asthma in public and private care units.
