Abstract: Abstract Background and Aims Respiratory physical therapy is recommended to prevent complications of accumulated secretion in mechanical ventilated infants, but no consensus about the best technique is available. Aims To evaluate the effects of manual hyperinflation maneuver (MHM) and thoracoabdominal rebalancing method (TRM) in preterm newborns (PTNB) for bronchial hygiene. Methods Single‐blind randomized crossover trial with intention‐to‐treat analysis was carried out with 24 PTNB (
