Key result
Early mobilization is one of the most effective respiratory physiotherapy techniques after cardiac surgery, while clinical evidence has disproved the effectiveness of incentive spirometry.
This review highlights that early mobilization is effective for post-cardiac surgery patients, whereas incentive spirometry lacks evidence, and respiratory muscle training in heart failure requires further investigation.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May favor early mobilization over incentive spirometry after cardiac surgery; hypothesis-generating for respiratory muscle training in HF.

Tetsuya Takahashi (2006) conducted a review in Cardiac diseases. Respiratory physiotherapy was evaluated. Early mobilization is one of the most effective respiratory physiotherapy techniques after cardiac surgery, while clinical evidence has disproved the effectiveness of incentive spirometry.
