Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Postoperative; Dysfunction Following Cardiac Surgery

Other: Interventional Group
Other: Control group
Registration Number
NCT02312648
Lead Sponsor
Luciana Chiavegato
Brief Summary

The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of a program of early mobilization in the functional capacity in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting in short and long- term.

Detailed Description

The hypotheses this study is that patients if conduct the program of early mobilization during hospitalization achieve better performance in the walk test (distance) at hospital discharge and 60 days after the surgical procedure compared to patients who only carry out the program of respiratory exercises. Intervention and control groups will receive breathing exercises up to 24 hours postoperatively, and the intervention group will also receive early mobilization exercises.

GroupInterventionDescription
Early mobilization GroupInterventional GroupPatients will perform deep breaths (3 sets of 10 repetitions), once a day, for 30 minutes until 7th postoperative day. Non invasive ventilation will be installed after orotracheal extubation for 30 to 60 minutes.Early mobilization protocol consist of upper and lower (cycle ergometer) limb exercises, chair transfer, deambulation for 10 to 20 minutes, step exercise (six times).
Control Group - Respiratory exerciseControl groupRespiratory exercises with patient sitting in bed with a high headboard 45, the same breathing exercises will be held
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Functional CapacityAll patients will be evaluated on preoperative period ( when they arrived in the hospital to do the surgery), hospital discharge ( about a mean of two weeks afeter surgery) and 60 postoperative days in cargiology ambulatory

Patients will be submitted to six minute walking test

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and Hospital length of stayAll patients will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 30 days

The number the days in ICU and hospital until discharge will be counted for each patient

Postoperative pulmonary complication (PPC)All patients will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 30 days

The occurrence of PPC will be monitored until the day of hospital discharge by a physician blinded to the groups: pneumonia (chest radiography with pulmonary infiltrate associated with two of the following signs: purulent expectoration, temperature above 38.3º C and a greater than 25% increase in baseline leukocyte count with hyperthermia), atelectasis (RS associated with abnormal chest acute respiratory symptoms), hypoxemia (peripheral oxygen saturation associated with respiratory symptoms below 85%).
