Filter by:The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of video game-based exercises applied in addition to the cardiac rehabilitation program applied after open heart surgery, on pulmonary function and functional independence in the acute state. After ethics committee approval is received; Patients who volunteer to participate in the study will be divided into two groups by simple random method. The first group will be given a 12-week cardiac rehabilitation program after bypass surgery, and the second group will be given video game-based exercise training together with the cardiac rehabilitation program for 12 weeks. It is planned to apply the cardiac rehabilitation program to both groups twice a day during the postoperative period until hospital discharge. The patient's cardiac rehabilitation program after hospital discharge will be carried out in the cardiac rehabilitation unit three days a week. Cardiac r in the video game-based exercise group In addition to rehabilitation; "Breathing Labs Breathing Games" exercises will continue during the hospital stay, and Xbox games will continue after discharge. Evaluations will be made in the preoperative period (within one week before surgery) and at the end of the 12th postoperative week.
Malnutrition is a prevalent issue among patients undergoing cardiac surgery. This can lead to delirium risk factors, including postoperative functional and cognitive impairment. Assessing the patient's nutritional status before open-heart surgery may decrease the incidence of delirium and the psychological and physiological problems associated with it. The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between nutritional status and the incidence of postoperative delirium in patients who have undergone open-heart surgery.
The aim of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two intravenous administrations of ilofotase alfa in patients at risk for renal damage following open heart surgery.
The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the effect of using virtual reality glasses on the surgical fear and anxiety levels of patients undergoing open heart surgery on the morning of surgery. The main hypotheses are: 1. The surgical fear level of patients who use virtual reality glasses on the morning of surgery is lower than patients who do not use virtual reality glasses. 2. The anxiety level of patients who use virtual reality glasses on the morning of surgery is lower than patients who do not use virtual reality glasses. Before the surgery, study group patients will be asked to watch videos using virtual reality glasses.
The aim of this study is to examine the changes in respiratory function, respiratory muscle strength and functional capacity markers and the relationship between them in patients who have undergone open heart surgery and are at the discharge stage. Method: Preoperative and postoperative evaluation results of 34 patients at discharge will be examined. Evaluations in the file; demographic data, respiratory functions; It will include spirometric measurements and intraoral pressure measurements and functional capacity measurement results. SPSS version 25 will be used in data analysis. The distribution of the participants according to their gender among the groups, presence of chronic diseases, regular drug use, smoking, alcohol use, regular exercise habits will be evaluated with the "chi-square" test. The conformity of the data to the normal distribution will be tested with the Shaphiro-Wilk Test. The difference between before and after the operation will be evaluated with the Paired Sample T Test. Pearson Correlation Test was performed for the relationship between independent variables and the significance level will be accepted as p<0.05.
comparison between stainless steel wires and PDS in closure of sternum in children after cardiac surgery in terms of sternal dehiscence, infection & cosmetic outcome
Valvular heart disease (VHD) is a growing and important public health problem due to the increasing prevalence of degenerative VHD, accompanied by prolonged life expectancy in developed countries. It is associated with high morbidity and mortality.Heart valve surgery is one of the proven treatments of VHD, which corrects hemodynamic abnormalities that could contribute to decrease mortality and improvement in quality of life, despite the improvement in the hemodynamic parameters, the cardiorespiratory fitness level remained low after heart valve surgery. Cardiac surgeries can cause a series of clinical and functional complication. Postoperative pulmonary complications are the most common, in turn, contribute directly to increase morbidity and mortality and longer hospital stays.Mucociliary clearance is affected after open-heart surgery by the effects of general anaesthesia, intubation and analgesia. Expiratory flow rate is directly related to lung volume and therefore when lung volumes are decreased, coughing will be less effective. Chest physical therapy plays an important role in the prevention and management of postoperative pulmonary complications. It includes deep breathing exercises, mobilization, postural drainage, percussion and vibration or shaking which were developed to improve bronchial drainage. Airway clearance techniques are commonly used for clearing secretions, improving gas exchange, oxygenation, and work of breathing. Acapella® is an airway clearance device that combines the resistive features of a positive expiratory pressure device with oscillations which diminishes the mucus adhesiveness and decrease the collapsibility of airways. In the present study, the aim is to compare the effect of acapella and incentive spirometer on cardiopulmonary fitness in patients undergoing heart valve surgery. Those patients may gain a more benefit from acapella application and incentive spirometer so, prevent post-operative pulmonary complication, reduce hospitalization and hospital costs, and improve quality of life. Therefore, early mobilization and chest physiotherapy including acapella and incentive will be started on 1st day after discharge from cardiac care unit (CCU) .
The purpose of this external evaluation is to assess the system functionality and analytical performance of the Saturn Investigational Instrument (next generation VerifyNow instrument) and associated cartridge currently under development. A single test cartridge with multiple assays will be compared with Light Transmittance Aggregometry (LTA) within a clinical setting using blood samples. Analytical performance will be compared between these assays. The outcome of this evaluation will be used to demonstrate baseline performance and support the design and development of the Saturn analyzer and optimization of the associated algorithm.
Introduction: Failure to follow-up patients by healthcare professionals after discharge may increase the development of anxiety and complications in patients. Aim: The aim of this study is to determine the effects of tele-nursing method to patients who have undergone Open Heart Surgery (OHS) after discharge on anxiety and some other complications. Material and Methods:This quasi-experimental randomized controlled study, which was conducted in a private hospital between November 2020 and April 2021, included 75 patients, 38 from the Intervention (IG) and 37 from the Control Group (KG). IG and CG patients were provided routine treatment and care. In addition to the IG, training and counselling were provided at least four times by phone calls between the first week after discharge and the end of the first month. Descriptive Form and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-S and T) were administered to all patients before discharge, and STAI-S was administered at the end of the first month after discharge. Post-discharge complications were evaluated by medical doctor in both groups. These data, number of hospitalization and readmission rates were obtained from hospital records.
The aim of this study is to compare between levosimendan and adrenaline in patients with pre-existing impaired systolic function (EF 30-40%), undergoing elective on-pump CABG, as regards hemodynamics and echocardiographic parameters.
