Clinical Trial Summary

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

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	The Pulmonary Function Test (PFT)	A diagnostic criterion used to identify patients with or at risk of pulmonary dysfunction. The PFT assessment was performed using the NDD Easy on-PC spirometer. During this test, challenging expiratory volume (FEV1 % (>80)), challenging vital capacity (FVC % (>80)), FEV1/FVC ( %, >80) ratio, and Peak Expiratory air pressure (PEF % (>100)) were measured in the first second. The PFT was performed in the Chest Diseases Outpatient Clinic of the hospital preoperatively.	Preoperative day
Primary	The Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) Change	A diagnostic criterion used to identify patients with or at risk of pulmonary dysfunction. The PFT assessment was performed using the NDD Easy on-PC spirometer. During this test, challenging expiratory volume (FEV1 % (>80)), challenging vital capacity (FVC % (>80)), FEV1/FVC ( %, >80) ratio, and Peak Expiratory air pressure (PEF % (>100)) were measured in the first second. The PFT was performed in the Chest Diseases Outpatient Clinic of the hospital preoperatively. The PFT was performed in the Chest Diseases Outpatient Clinic of the 4th day of clinical care.	4th day of clinical care
Secondary	The Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36)	The points given vary between 0-100; 0 points indicate bad health and 100 points indicate that health is progressing in a good direction.	preoperative day
