About this study

Official title: Postoperative Early Mobilization and Affecting Factors in Patients Undergoing Open Heart Surgery: A Descriptive-Cross Sectional Study

This study was planned to determine the mobilization process and factors affecting this process in patients who underwent open heart surgery and were admitted to the cardiovascular surgery intensive care unit.

Read the detailed description

Mobilization; It is defined as "standing up, walking, being able to move and walking around, especially after the operation, when the patient stands up and walks around". Postoperative mobilization is a basic human need and one of the basic principles of nursing care. In the postoperative period, with the delay of mobilization, the patient's insulin resistance increases, muscle weakness and muscle mass loss occur, problems in pulmonary functions are experienced and the risk of thromboembolism increases.

Surgery of patients admitted to cardiovascular ICUs after open heart surgery close monitoring afterwards, maintenance of cardio-respiratory functions, healing is supported. During care in the intensive care unit Preparation of materials that may be needed by the patient, general condition of the patient and vital information monitoring symptoms, performing breathing exercises, evaluating pain and management, monitoring fluid-electrolyte balance, monitoring hemodynamic parameters, surgical wound dressing, getting the patient up as soon as possible and in bed increasing mobility. In this process, while the mobilization process of the patients is planned, the patient's The general condition and tolerance regarding mobilization should be evaluated. patient's general Depending on the suitability of the condition, turning in bed, foot-leg exercises, deep breathing and gradual mobilization, such as cough exercises, sitting in bed, standing up, and walking inform the patient and the patient's family about the methods, plan the mobilization process, The patient should be evaluated before, during and after mobilization. Early postoperative mobilization is an important component of nursing care.

Early mobilization of patients after open heart surgery, although the recommendations to increase the mobility are getting stronger, the mobilization levels of the patients are still not at the desired level. Although studies examining the early mobilization process of patients after open heart surgery have been conducted so far, findings regarding the clinical factors affecting this process are very limited.

What is being measured

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

  1. Postoperative mobilization level

    Assessed with Intensive Care Units-Mobility Scale. The scale used to evaluate patient mobiility level on postoperative days. It consisted of 11 items with scoring, classification and explanation from 0 (zero) to 10 (ten), ranging from lying in bed/passive exercises to independent ambulation.

    Measured: Postoperative day 2

  2. Pulse rate changes between before and after mobility

    Assessed with a form which is created by authors. The form is containing the outcome both of before and after mobilization. These are calculated both time point.

    Measured: Twice: Before mobilization and after mobilization (5 minutes later)

  3. Blood pressure (both of systolic and diastolic blood pressure) changes between before and after mobility

    Assessed with a form which is created by authors. The form is containing the outcome both of before and after mobilization. These are calculated both time point.

    Measured: Twice: Before mobilization and after mobilization (5 minutes later)

  4. Oxygen saturation changes between before and after mobility

    Assessed with a form which is created by authors. The form is containing the outcome both of before and after mobilization. These are calculated both time point.

    Measured: Twice: Before mobilization and after mobilization (5 minutes later)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Nursing Caries and Ambulation Difficulty, run by Aydin Adnan Menderes University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 2 inclusion and 4 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 8 Jan 2024. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Postoperative mobilization level (time frame: Postoperative day 2). The study lists 4 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 8 Jan 2024.
