Overview
Brief Summary
In this study, the effect of a pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) program on the respiratory function and quality of life of patients undergoing CABG surgery with an open-heart technique is examined. A randomized controlled experimental design was used. The study was conducted with two groups: the intervention group (n=25) and control group (n=25). The control group received standard care after CABG. In contrast, the experimental group, in addition to standard care, participated in a PR program created by the researchers. After CABG, the respiratory functions of both groups (clinical care day 4) and quality of life (6th week) evaluated

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
The Pulmonary Function Test (PFT)
Time Frame: Preoperative day
A diagnostic criterion used to identify patients with or at risk of pulmonary dysfunction. The PFT assessment was performed using the NDD Easy on-PC spirometer. During this test, challenging expiratory volume (FEV1 % (\>80)), challenging vital capacity (FVC % (\>80)), FEV1/FVC ( %, \>80) ratio, and Peak Expiratory air pressure (PEF % (\>100)) were measured in the first second. The PFT was performed in the Chest Diseases Outpatient Clinic of the hospital preoperatively.
The Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) Change
Time Frame: 4th day of clinical care
A diagnostic criterion used to identify patients with or at risk of pulmonary dysfunction. The PFT assessment was performed using the NDD Easy on-PC spirometer. During this test, challenging expiratory volume (FEV1 % (\>80)), challenging vital capacity (FVC % (\>80)), FEV1/FVC ( %, \>80) ratio, and Peak Expiratory air pressure (PEF % (\>100)) were measured in the first second. The PFT was performed in the Chest Diseases Outpatient Clinic of the hospital preoperatively. The PFT was performed in the Chest Diseases Outpatient Clinic of the 4th day of clinical care.
Secondary Outcomes
- The Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) Change(postoperative sixth week)
- The Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36)(preoperative day)
