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.
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.
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.
Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) consists of supervised exercise training in conjunction with other secondary prevention interventions. However, CR is not widely used because of distance, financial resources, work and other time constraints, gender, age, social support, illness perceptions, and psychiatric problems. Baduanjin is a type of movement-based mind-body intervention. It is a form of traditional practice designed to promote physical and psychological health, manage symptoms, and relieve stress during illness. Patients with heart disease have frequently used it. The impacts of a Baduanjin exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation program for patients recovering from CAD under coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) or valve replacement on Meridian Energy Analysis Device (MEAD100, Med- Pex Enterprises, Taichung, Taiwan) and heart rate variability (HRV) has yet to be assessed. This trial evaluates whether the Baduanjin exercise would provide effective meridian energy and HRV in patients following CABG.
Investigation of the effect of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program on postoperative results of patients operated for open heart surgery.
