About this study
Official title: Effect of Pre-operative Multimedia Physical Therapy Program in Open Heart Surgery: a Randomized Controlled Study
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn the effect of self prepare by multimedia program before going to heart surgery. The main questions it aim to answer is:
Is preparing for heart surgery on your own or with a physical therapist the same? Researchers were compare the effects of preoperative physical therapy between multimedia and traditional programs in patients undergoing open heart surgery.
Participants were received traditional therapy from a physical therapist or used a multimedia self-learning program.
Read the detailed description
This randomized controlled trial compared the effects of multimedia and traditional preoperative physical therapy programs in 70 patients undergoing elective open-heart surgery at Khon Kaen University, Thailand. Patients were divided equally into control and experimental groups. The control group received traditional therapy from a physical therapist, while the experimental group used a multimedia self-learning program. Both groups also received a leaflet with preoperative guidelines. After completing the programs, patients were assessed on chest expansion and surgery knowledge. Both groups showed significant improvement in upper and lower chest expansion after the programs. However, there were no significant differences between the groups in chest expansion or knowledge scores. The study concluded that a preoperative multimedia self-learning physical therapy program is as clinically effective as traditional therapy for patients preparing for open-heart surgery.
- Being tested
- Multimedia preoperative progarm, Traditional preoperative program
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Multimedia preoperative progarmOther
A two-dimensional (2D) animated video was developed to deliver educational content regarding open-heart surgery procedures (sternotomy and general anesthesia), the preoperative physical therapy program (diaphragmatic breathing, lower-lobe breathing, and chest expansion exercises), potential postoperative complications (e.g., pneumonia and atelectasis), therapeutic exercises (ankle pumping), and mobility training (bed mobility and transitioning from lying to a sitting position)
Traditional preoperative programOther
traditional preoperative program from an experienced physical therapist
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Control group | Active comparator | Traditional preoperative program from an experienced physical therapist Receives: Other: Traditional preoperative program |
| Experimental group | Experimental | A two-dimensional (2D) animated video preoperative physical therapy program Receives: Other: Multimedia preoperative progarm |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Chest expansion
Chest expansion (both upper and lower) using a measuring tape
Measured: Before and immediately after receiving the preoperative program
Secondary outcomes (1)
Preoperative knowledge
The secondary outcome was preoperative knowledge. Preoperative knowledge was assessed using a knowledge questionnaire, with scores ranging from 0 to 10. Higher scores indicated better knowledge.
Measured: Immediately after receiving the preoperative program on the same day with chest expansion assessment.
