About this study

Official title: Effects of Preoperative Inspiratory Muscle Training on Functional Capacity and Pulmonary Complications in Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery

This study will evaluate the profilatic effects of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) on functional capacity, respiratory muscle strength, postoperative pulmonary complications and days of hospitalization (PPC) in patients submitted to coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG).

Read the detailed description

Patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery are at risk of postoperative pulmonary complications, which lead to increased postoperative morbidity and mortality.

A few studies have demonstrated that preoperative physical therapy has advantages over postoperative care in patients undergoing cardiac . In this way, this study aim to investigate the effects of preoperativeinspiratory muscle training in patients at high risk of postoperative pulmonary complications who were scheduled for coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Inspiratory Muscle TrainingOther

    Also called Respiratory Muscle Training

    The inspiratory muscle training (IMT) will be carried out in the IG with Threshold® IMT (Respironics New Jersey, Inc) consisting of a unidirectional flow control valve which assures the constant resistance (linear load) between 7 and 41cmH20.

    The IMT will be carried out in the sitting position with a load of 30% of the MIP during the two weeks preceding the surgery, seven days a week, twice daily in three series of ten repetitions with a 30 second interval between series, under the supervision of a physiotherapist. A load of 15% of the MIP was used only on the first day of training in order for the individual to adapt to the equipment. Subsequently, the 30% MIP load will be applied and readjusted according to the new MIP values determined every four days.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Postoperative Pulmonary Complications

    The postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC) will be classified according to an ordinal scale from 1 to 4 , as proposed by Kroenke (2002).

    The PPCs will be defined as clinically significant if the individual presented two or more Level 2 items or one or more Level 3 and/or 4 items. The Level 1 items were considered subclinical.

    Measured: 1 month

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Respiratory Muscle Strenght

    The respiratory muscle strength will be determined by means of a calibrated analogical manovacuometer, graded from -120 to +120cmH20, defining the maximum inspiratory and expiratory pressure (MIP and MEP). The MEP will be measured by the patient's maximum inflation of the lungs (total lung capacity), followed by a maximum forced expiration lasting 1 second. The maximum inspirator pressure (MIP) assessment will be carried out by the patient's maximum expiration, followed by a maximum inspiratory force lasting 1 second. At least three technically acceptable measurements will be carried out, presenting a difference of 10% or less among the values. The analysis considered the highest value (Neder, 1999; Hulzebous, 2006)

    Measured: 1 month

  2. Functional Capacity

    The functional capacity will be assessed by means of a 6-minute walk test (T6min) in accordance with the "American Thoracic Society - ATS" guidelines. Two tests will carried out, with a thirty minute interval between them, at a flat location inside the hospital. The 30 meter distance to be covered in a straight line will be marked with a measuring tape. The patient's performance will be assessed according to the longest distance covered (Holland et al, 2014)

    Measured: 1 month

  3. Lenght of hospital stay hospitalization

    The postoperative length of stay in hospital will be assessed by calculating the number of days the patient in the hospital from the day of the surgery until the hospital discharge authorized by the cardiology team physician.

    Measured: 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Inspiratory Muscle Training in people with Heart Diseases and Coronary Disease, run by University of the State of Santa Catarina.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Postoperative Pulmonary Complications (time frame: 1 month). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 Mar 2017.
