简要总结
To determine the effects of preoperative exercise therapy on postoperative cardiopulmonary outcomes and quality of life in children with corrective cardiac surgeries.Within literature there is limited evidence on preoperative exercise therapy in the pediatric population, positive results of the study can introduce a new tradition of preoperative exercise therapy and significantly reduce post-operative complications. Secondary complications would also be addressed in the study, a positive result can reduce the total costs by reducing hospital stays and improving the quality of life of child.
详细描述
Cardiac surgeries are often associated with some post-operative cardiopulmonary complications most often cardiac arrhythmias, pulmonary atelectasis, and hospital induced pneumonia and reduced inspiratory capacities which can be reduced by exercise therapy this study is therefore significant not only for the determination of the effects of preoperative exercise therapy, it will also provide a path toward pre-habilitation followed by effective postoperative cardiac rehabilitation which is mostly lacking in many setups.

结局指标
主要结局
Health related Quality of life
时间窗: 4 weeks
Changes from pre-operative to 15 days after discharge from the hospital, measured through a Pediatric quality of life questionnaire consisting of 23 questions that are categorized into 4 major components namely, Physical functioning (8 items), Emotional functioning (5 items), Social functioning (5 items), School functioning (5 items). The scoring of the scale is based on the frequency of performance of particular activity ranging from 0 (mean never performed) to 5(mean always functioning).
Abnormal heart rhythms
时间窗: 7 days
pre-operative to post-operative and discharge day observed through Electrocardiography (ECG) on cardiac monitor.
Post-operative Pulmonary complications
时间窗: 4 weeks
Changes from pre-operative to post-operative, discharge day and 15 days after discharge from the hospital, measured through chest x-ray including Consolidation, Atelectasis, Pneumonitis, Pleural Effusion.
Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1)
时间窗: 4 weeks
Changes from pre-operative to post-operative, discharge day, and 15 days after discharge measured through the digital spirometer in Liters
Forced vital capacity
时间窗: 4 Weeks
Changes from pre-operative to post-operative, discharge day, and 15 days after discharge measured through the digital spirometer in Liters.
