Bronchitis is an acute inflammatory respiratory disease of children that occurs in the first two years of life. Coincides with a seasonal pattern with a peak incidence in winter and spring.
Several viral agents have been identified: respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), para influenza, adenovirus, influenza, rhino viruses. RSV is the most frequent and the most common cause of hospitalization in children with lower respiratory tract infection.
Although pediatric texts make little mention reviewed in terms of physiotherapy applied during the course of this disease, and that there is sufficient evidence for their use, chest physiotherapy is increasingly indicated for the treatment of hospitalized children aguda1 viral bronchiolitis.
There is only one randomized study comparing chest physiotherapy with a control group without chest physiotherapy, which shows no significant difference in hospital stay, duration of disease and clinical score between the two groups2.
The aim of this study was to then determine whether chest physiotherapy is useful in the treatment of bronchitis and decreasing the number of days of hospitalization.

The objectives of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of conventional chest physiotherapy in the treatment of acute bronchiolitis and to determine their influence on the hospitalization. We conducted a randomized controlled trial, which included sixteen patients with bronchitis who were treated twice daily with chest physiotherapy and sixteen patients were compared with control, with the same disease, who were not given nasopharynx. The treatment group had a mean clinical score for respiratory distress on admission of 5.56 (± 1.96) and high 3.25 (± 1.27). The control group presented a score of 5.75 (± 1.61) and 3.12 (± 1.30), p = 0.77 and p = 0.76 respectively. The mean length of hospital stay was 4.00 (± 2.00) in the treatment group and 3.87 (± 1.30) for the control group, p = 0.84. We conclude that chest physiotherapy provides no benefit in routine use in the management of acute bronchiolitis or shorten hospital stays.

Abstract
Indications of Conventional chest physiotherapy in acute bronchitis. To Evaluate the Benefits of Conventional chest physiotherapy in acute bronchitis, 32 Patients Were Allocated in a randomized controlled trial, 16 Were Given Twice daily chest physiotherapy Compared with 16 controls Who Were Not Given chest physiotherapy. The Treatment Group show to mean clinical score for respiratory disability at admission of 5.56 (± 1.96), and 3.25 (± 1.27) when to discharge. The present control group score of 5.75 (± 1.61) and 3.12 (± 1.30), p = 0.77 and p = 0.76 respectivamente. The mean length of Illness in hospital in the Treatment Group WAS 4.00 (± 2.00) vs 3.87 (± 1.30) in the control group, p = 0.84. Chest physiotherapy does Not produce Clinically important Benefits in the Treatment of acute bronchiolitis.

Physiotherapy
Very briefly, physiotherapy is a health profession related to human function and movement and to bring potential. Physiotherapists work in a wide variety of health centers, and intensive care, mental illness, stroke recovery, health and elderly care. Physiotherapy is certainly far more than fixing musculoskeletal sports injuries although that is perhaps the most common perception of the profession.

Any person visiting a hospital is to physiotherapists working in many unexpected areas of the organization. My own hospital has more than 70 physiotherapists working in diverse areas such as incontinence, rehabilitation of patients with acute stroke, the mobilization of the elderly after fractures, removal of secretions from the lungs of patients in intensive care, mounting splints or braces, the practice of hydrotherapy for arthritis patients, patients with hyperventilation in need of an education to breathe more effectively and many other types of treatment.

Objectives: The primary objective of this observational study is to evaluate the improvement of patients with whiplash treated with specific physical techniques and the time they need to improve the physical state in which they live.

Material and Methods: A sample of 12 patients between men and women aged between 21 and 61 years subdivided into two groups according to sex to which they belong. Data were collected from each patient at the beginning and end of study time. Data processing was performed using the Statistical Program CaEst 1.2, and found the statistics: mean, standard deviation, variance, test of goodness of chi-square test signs of S and the linear regression.

Results: At the end of the study which lasted six weeks, the results were that 12 patients of the sample containing the twelve raised their health in some or all aspects, both physical and psychological. The improvement in the group of men is 100% as the 5 men included in the sample had improved. The improvement of women is also a 100% because the sample of 7 women returned improvement.

Conclusion: The use of physical therapy (thermotherapy, therapeutic exercise and manual-cinesiterapia) in patients with whiplash had a clear positive influence on this condition, improving the symptoms with which we are presented with the study patients.
