Filter by:This study was conducted to examine the effects of different discharge training methods on readiness to discharge and self-efficacy in individuals undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
This study aims to investigate the effect of the pneumatic tourniquet technique on the patients' hemodynamics; heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP).
This study will provide the evidence that during the postoperative period deep breathing exercise combined with physical training can positively influence the sleep duration and quality. This study will provide the evidence that during the postoperative period deep breathing exercise combined with physical training can positively influence the sleep duration and quality.
To evaluate the effects of Prehabilitation Resistance training on frailty and functional capacity in mild to moderate clinically frail patients awaiting Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting) CABG. This study will contribute to describing the effect of resistance training in mild to moderate frails patients and were directed to be the part of cardiac rehabilitation and define the effects of cardiac prehabilitation and to check whether the effects of resistance training or routine training is similar for quality of recovery in mild to moderate frails patients which undergone CABG.
This project is designed to assess the impact of implementing a hemodynamic optimization protocol, utilizing flow guided parameters that is provided by technology from Edwards Lifesciences, for patients undergoing high risk cardiac surgery. Importantly, this project is being targeted as a QI initiative because there is no evaluation of new technology or procedures. All technologies and procedures are currently being used for patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Rather this project is evaluating the implementation of a multi-dispclinary developed protocol that seeks to remove variability in which providers are currently treating patients hemodynamics during and acutely after cardiac surgery. Previous research has demonstrated that implementation of hemodynamic management protocols improves perioperative outcome in surgical patients. This project seeks to evaluate the impact of implementing this protocol as the new clinical standard for high-risk cardiac surgery patients. Specifically, this protocol would be a comprehensive hemodynamic management strategy that would-be initiated in the operating room post-bypass and then continued for the first 12 hours in the intensive care unit (see figure below). To restate, all technologies and procedures are currently being performed for these patients, however, there has not been a protocol guiding how practionioners use this technology. The project is evaluating the impact of protocolized treatment strategies. Importantly this protocol has been designed, reviewed and agreed by the motivation of the physicians who are currently responsible for managing these patients hemodynamics. Since this project does involve alterations in procedures or technologies we are seeking to proceed as a quality improvement project. Additionally the protocol is one that has been reviewed and agreed to provide the optimal management strategy for these patients. This again is the overall focus of this project, to implement a hemodynamic management protocol to improve outcomes in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
The Pilot study will be a single-center, randomized, open-label, active-controlled trial. After CABG surgery using Radial Artery Grafts (RA-CABG) and signing the informed consent, all patients will be screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Estimated 150 patients will be enrolled and randomized by ratio 1:1:1 to receive either Nicorandil (5mg tid po) or Diltiazem (180mg qd po) or Isosorbide Mononitrate (50mg qd po). Follow-up visits will be conducted at Week 1, 4, 12, and 24 after surgery. The last evaluation of study endpoints and other adverse events will be at Week 24. The pilot study is designed to explore the angiography outcomes of grafts and cardiovascular outcomes of patients, as well as safety outcomes among different anti-spastic regimens after RA-CABG.
In this study, the effect of a pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) program on the respiratory function and quality of life of patients undergoing CABG surgery with an open-heart technique is examined. A randomized controlled experimental design was used. The study was conducted with two groups: the intervention group (n=25) and control group (n=25). The control group received standard care after CABG. In contrast, the experimental group, in addition to standard care, participated in a PR program created by the researchers. After CABG, the respiratory functions of both groups (clinical care day 4) and quality of life (6th week) evaluated
Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR) is an effective exercise-based lifestyle therapy for patients with cardiac disease. There are two common methods of exercise prescription, an effort based exercise prescription and target heart rate based exercise prescription. The purpose of this research study is to identify the best way to exercise in cardiac rehabilitation. There are three main goals of this study. First, the investigators want to know if an exercise test should be done near the beginning of cardiac rehabilitation. Second, the investigators want to understand what type of exercises should be recommend to patients. Third, the investigators want to understand if a personal heart rate monitor will improve adherence to a target heart rate for exercise. As part of this study, some patients will undergo an exercise stress test on a treadmill to determine a target heart rate. These patients will be given a heart rate goal to use when they exercise. Some patients will be given a personal heart rate monitor to improve adherence.
Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) is considered as one of the best markers to assess the glycaemia treatment over a period of 3 to 4 months, and is considered as predictive marker for perioperative mortality and morbidity. The impact of the elevated HbA1c on the risk of perioperative major cardiovascular events in patients undergoing coronary bypass revascularization (by retrospective analysis of perioperative cardiovascular events and preoperative HbA1c) is evaluated.
This study occurs in two phases. Phase 1 involves initial item development and measurement validation of a new tool for identifying hospitalized patients at high risk for preventable readmission. Primary tasks include item construction and content validation, data collection, analysis, and instrument refinement. Phase 2 involves administering the refined instrument to a new group of patients to determine final item content for the instrument, its factor structure, and its predictive validity.
