Introduction: Respiratory physical therapy in intensive care units (ICUs) aims to promote functional respiratory independence to the patient, preventing complications and accelerating recovery. The objective of the study was to assess the effects of lung hyper insufflation through artificial respiration in the respiratory system and in hemodynamics. Methods: a self controlled clinical trial on a sample of 18 patients on artificial respiration. Pulmonary mechanics, hemodynamics, oxygen saturation levels, current inspired volume and expiratory flux peak parameters were assessed and evaluated. Results: No evidence was found regarding hemodynamics and respiratory system mechanics but expiratory flux peak values increased significantly (P<0.05). Conclusion: lung insufflation through artificial respiration appears to be safe because it has caused no clinical impact em hemodynamics e may be employed as additional therapy to clean airways due to its potential to increase expiratory flux peak.
