About this study

Official title: Effect of Pre-operative Respiratory Rehabilitation on Post- Operative Outcomes in Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Patients

To compare the effects of conventional preoperative respiratory rehabilitation and specific preoperative respiratory rehabilitation program on pulmonary functions in coronary artery bypass graft patients.

Read the detailed description

After cardiac surgeries many postoperative changes occur that lead to pulmonary complication such as respiratory changes, functional capacity of lungs and gaseous changes that leads to hypoxemia and ischemic injury of lungs. CABG, although a successful procedure, post operative pulmonary complications still pursue a big challenge to the health and fitness of the patients. Although post operative complications have been managed in in-patient setup post CABG, there are pre-operative measures on the rise to prevent the complications to occur after CABG.

This study will contribute in describing the rate of improvement in pulmonary functions with rehabilitation program including preoperative out of bed mobilization, active cycle breathing techniques, forced expiratory technique and volume-based incentive spirometry as compared to the conventional treatment of flow-based incentive spirometry and chest percussion in prevention of post operative pulmonary complications occurring after CABG leading to delayed recovery of patients.

Being tested
Respiratory rehabilitation and out of bed mobilization, conventional treatment

What participants receive

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

  • Respiratory rehabilitation and out of bed mobilizationOther

    The Respiratory rehabilitation and out of bed mobilization group will perform following exercises: pre operative out of bed mobilization, active cycle breathing techniques, forced expiratory technique and volume based incentive spirometery

  • conventional treatmentOther

    The conventional exercise program group will perform :Flow based Incentive spirometery, Chest percussion if needed

What is being measured

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

  1. Forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1)

    The Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second parameter measures the volume of air that was exhaled into the mouthpiece in the first second after a full inhalation. The normal test values range between 80% and 120% of the average (predicted) values.

    Measured: 4th postoperative day of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG)

  2. Forced Vital Capacity (FVC)

    Forced Vital Capacity measures the total volume of air that you were able to blow forcefully into the mouthpiece following a full inhalation

    Measured: 4th postoperative day of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG)

  3. Ratio of Forced expiratory volume in 1 second and Forced Vital Capacity (FEV1/FVC)

    FEV1/FVC: The FEV1/FVC Ratio (FEV1%) parameter is calculated by dividing the measured FEV1 value by the measured FVC value. In healthy adults of the same gender, height, and age, the normal Predicted percentage should be between 70% and 85.

    Measured: 4th postoperative day of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. 6-minute walk test (6MWT)

    six minutes walk test (6MWT) is test used to measure functional exercise capacity of patients with cardiovascular and/or pulmonary disease. In this test, patient performs walk for 6 minutes while time being counted on stopwatch. The patient can take rest between the walk, but the timer keeps on running and the rest period is counted. At the end of the test, patient's level of exertion is noted, and the distance measured is recorded. The 6MWT distance values for a healthy person are 400-700m.

    Measured: 4th postoperative day of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG)

  2. Borg scale

    The Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) scale is a tool for measuring an individual's effort and exertion, breathlessness and fatigue during physical work. Patients are asked to tell the whole feeling of exertion including leg pain and shortness of breath and it is marked on a number from 6-20, where 6 indicates "no exertion at all" and 20 indicates "maximal exertion".

    Measured: 4th postoperative day of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Respiratory rehabilitation and out of bed mobilization and conventional treatment in people with Respiratory Rehabilitation, run by Riphah International University at 1 site in Pakistan.

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 3 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 1 Sep 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Pakistan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

Forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) (time frame: 4th postoperative day of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG)). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 1 Sep 2023.
