- Abstract
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive genetic disease characterized by the dysfunction of a protein called cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFRT), affecting multiple systems and thickening airway secretions. Respiratory physiotherapy has as main role to promote the removal of accumulated secretions in the lungs due to the dysfunctions that cystic fibrosis entails, being one of the therapeutic resources indispensable for the maintenance, prevention and promotion of the patient's health. Low adherence to treatment is one of the main causes of worsening of the clinical situation becoming a difficulty for physiotherapists. The aim of this research is to analyze the importance and benefits for the pediatric patient with cystic fibrosis in joining respiratory physiotherapy. An integrative bibliographical review was carried out, which identified 817 publications of the subject, articles were excluded that the public studied or method did not correspond to the one proposed in the research; after the refinement of the search, 21 original articles were included. Respiratory physiotherapy enters as one of the traditional methods of treatment, aiding in the removal of secretions with bronchial hygiene techniques. In the studied population, the low adherence to the therapy is related to the dependency of those responsible and the lack of knowledge of the future implications of the disease. It is up to the professional who works in this area to explain and clarify to parents and patients that respiratory therapy is equally important for drug therapy and that both act together in the treatment of cystic fibrosis. It is concluded that low adherence is directly related to the lack of information about the disease and that parents and professionals have to promote daily the education of this patient in relation to their pathology.
