OBJETIVE: To analyze with a bibliographic review, the characteristics of the BQ and its treatment with physiotherapy. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A literature search of studies and clinical trials of the last 5 years in English and Spanish was conducted. Studies that analyzed the effectiveness of respiratory physiotherapy techniques in the treatment of BQ was selected. The search was performed in the PubMEd, PEDro, PuntoQ and Google Academic databases. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Eight articles were selected that analyzed the effectiveness of the physiotherapy interventions and the characteristics of the BQ. The interventions for the management of secretions were: slow expiratory techniques, autogenous drainage, prolonged slow expirations, the active cycle of breathing, percussion and postural drainage. The instrumental techniques mainly PEP and Vest Airway Clearance System. A single review of exercise training called Pulmonary Rehabilitation was found. CONCLUSION: The treatment of BQ with physiotherapy interventions achieves an increase in the secretions expelled, contributes to a more productive cough, with less effort and discomfort and therefore improves the quality of life. Pulmonary rehabilitation, with training programs guided by physiotherapists, also improves the quality of life and capacity for exercise. Studies that endorse the scientific evidence of these interventions are required.
