Официальное название
Early Postoperative Physiotherapy in the Prevention Respiratory Insufficiency After Elective Heart Surgery
Обзор
This study aims to determine whether starting respiratory physiotherapy one hour after removal of the breathing tube following elective coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery leads to better recovery than the current standard approach, in which physiotherapy begins on the first postoperative day. The study will evaluate whether earlier physiotherapy improves lung function, reduces postoperative pulmonary complications, shortens intensive care unit and hospital stay, decreases pain and anxiety, and improves overall recovery after surgery. The main question is whether very early postoperative respiratory physiotherapy provides additional benefits for patients recovering from elective heart surgery compared with standard postoperative care.
Подробное описание
This study is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of early postoperative physiotherapy initiated one hour after extubation in patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Postoperative pulmonary complications remain among the most frequent causes of morbidity following cardiac surgery and may contribute to prolonged intensive care unit and hospital stay, delayed functional recovery, and increased healthcare utilization. Early physiotherapy has been recognized as an important component of postoperative rehabilitation; however, the optimal timing for its initiation has not been clearly established. This study aims to investigate whether initiating physiotherapy one hour after extubation provides additional clinical benefits compared with the current standard practice of commencing physiotherapy on the first postoperative day. The protocol includes standardized perioperative management and physiotherapy procedures to ensure consistency of the intervention and outcome assessment. The study will be conducted at the University Hospital Centre Zagreb in accordance with the principles of Good Clinical Practice, the Declaration of Helsinki, and applicable ethical and regulatory requirements.
Вмешательства
- Процедура Early postoperative physiotherapy
Participants receive an early postoperative physiotherapy protocol initiated within the first 24 hours after elective cardiac surgery. The intervention includes breathing exercises, airway clearance techniques, early mobilization, progressive ambulation, and individualized therapeutic exercises according to a standardized protocol in addition to standard postoperative care. - Процедура Standard postoperative care
Participants receive standard postoperative care, including routine postoperative physiotherapy according to institutional practice without the structured early physiotherapy protocol.
