Objective To analyze the correlation between direct vital capacity measured with ventilometer and with incentive inspirometer in patients in pre and post cardiac surgery. Methodology Cross-sectional comparative study with patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Respiratory parameters were evaluated through the measurement of VC performed by ventilometer and inspirometer. To analyze data normality the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was applied for correlation the Pearson correlation coefficient was used and for comparison of variables in pre and post operative period Student s t test was adopted. We established a level of ignificance of 5 . Data was presented as an average standard deviation and relative frequency when needed. The significance level was set at 5 . Results We studied 52 patients undergoing cardiac surgery 20 patients in preoperative with VC-ventilometer ml kg and VC-inspirometer 11 ml Kg r p . In the post operatory 32 patients were evaluated with VC-ventilometer ml kg and VC-inspirometer 11 ml Kg r p . Presenting a very high correlation between the evaluation forms studied. Conclusion There was a high correlation between DVC measures with .
