Abstract

Patients who have to wait in the hospital for coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) are exposed to the potential risks of immobilization. This clinical trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of an in-hospital cardiopulmonary rehabilitation program performed before and after CABG on postoperative outcomes. Fifty-six patients who had to wait for CABG in-hospital were randomly assigned to a cardiopulmonary rehabilitation (Rehab; n = 29) or to usual care (Control; n = 27). In the Rehab group, intervention lasted for at least 5 days preoperatively until discharge. The program consisted of phase I cardiac rehabilitation associated with respiratory physical therapy. Outcomes were blindly evaluated. By hospital discharge, Rehab patients presented a shorter time to endotracheal extubation (1054 +/- 376 vs. 1340 +/- 666 min, P = 0.05), a reduction in the incidence of pleural effusion (relative risk [RR] = 0.2; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.5-0.8), atelectasis (RR = 0.15; 95% CI: 0.03-0.8), pneumonia (0 vs. 7 cases, [P = 0.004]), and atrial fibrillation or flutter (RR = 0.2; 95% CI: 0.05-0.8). Length of in-hospital stay after surgery was also reduced in the Rehab group (5.9 +/- 1.1 vs. 10.3 +/- 4.6 days [P < 0.001]). Pre- and posto...Continue Reading

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
