Inclusion Criteria

The study included 22 healthy infants born at term (37 to 41 weeks) of both sexes, with at least 72 hours of life, this time was used respecting the safety criteria recommended by the I Brazilian Recommendation of Respiratory Therapy in Unit Pediatric and Neonatal Intensive Care

Exclusion Criteria

Infants born preterm, with congenital syndromes, upper or pulmonary airway malformations and central nervous system malformations, grade III or IV perintraventricular hemorrhage, peripheral nervous system injuries that interfere with the movement of the chest and the maintenance of the chest were excluded. airway opening, progressive neuromuscular disease, severe heart disease, congenital infectious disease, gastroesophageal reflux disease, chest or recent face trauma, respiratory disease with or without secretion up to two weeks prior to evaluation and incessant crying.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The measures of mobility, shortening speed and inspiratory time of the diaphragm vary between the techniques of chest compression (Slowly increasing expiratory flow, assisted autogenous drainage and slow and prolonged expiration). These measurements were performed by means of diaphragmatic ultrasound before the maneuver was applied, and immediately after the maneuver was applied, based on the observation of a variation of at least 5% in the pre and post-intervention measurements.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Expiratory flow increase technique (EFIT), as it promotes chest compression during expiration and inspiration, can inhibit the lung deflation reflex, causing inspiration shortly after the technique to be performed efficiently.
