Continuous Positive Air Way Pressure in Cardiac Rehabilitation After CABG

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Post-cardiac Surgery
Registration Number
NCT05044559
Lead Sponsor
Riphah International University
Brief Summary

Different studies reported that CPAP is effective to prevent respiratory complication in post CABG patient and have greater impact on walking time, ventilatory function and breathing pattern.

Detailed Description

The walking time (6 minute walk test), effect on arterial blood gasses and long term effects of CPAP on cardiac activity, the previous studies focus only on the acute effects of CPAP along with specific exercises but did not tell about the long term effects. based on these finding this study is design to assess the effectiveness of CPAP in Post-op CABG patients regarding there early mobilization, walking time, ABGs and Ejection Fraction as there prognostic parameters in both phase-1 cardiac rehabilitation within hospital as well as in long-term prognosis, is of great interest.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Arterial Blood Gasses3 days

measures oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in your blood. It also measures your body's acid-base (pH) level, which is normally balanced when you are healthy.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
6 minute walk test3 days

gold standard test to measure exercise capacity and requires less physical space and allows for easier monitoring of vital parameters

Ejection Fraction4 week

expressed as a percentage, of how much blood the left ventricle pumps out with each contraction.

Short Form 12 Questionnaire4 weeks

measuring tool for mental and physical health components. It consists of 12 questions which cover the eight health domain with one or two question per domain
