dc.description.abstractIntroduction Radiotherapy is used to treat breast cancer. The administration of treatment with DIBH makes it possible to remove the organs at risk from the area to be treated. Thus, it is possible to reduce future complications. The lack of respiratory training, anxiety and patient stress are some factors that can compromise the correct execution of apnea, making the treatment more time consuming. The aim of this work is to study the applicability of the DIBH technique in patients undergoing radiation therapy and to create a respiratory training protocol. Methodology A bibliographic search was carried out with consultation of databases and digital libraries. A questionnaire was applied to 34 radiotherapy technicians with functions in the treatment unit and CT planning. The questionnaire was released by professional associations and radiotherapy services. Results / Discussion: According to the interviewees and the consulted bibliography, DIBH is mainly applied in the treatment of left breast tumors. It is associated with an increase in treatment time and patient anxiety. According to respondents, anxiety and difficulties initially presented by patients, when performing DIBH, tend to disappear during treatment sessions. Final considerations The breathing training session allows the patient to become familiar with the breathing technique. During the training session, the patient should be provided with feedback on his breathing in order to proportionate the improvement of the DIBH. The training should be carried out at home, before the planning CT, as many times as possible.pt_PT
