Physical and Functional Recovery From Cardiac Surgery in Hospitalized Patients: A Feasibility Pilot Study

Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
The investigators will perform a prospective randomized controlled trial at Baystate Medical Center, a 684-bed academic teaching hospital that serves as the referral center for a population of approximately 800,000 people living in Western Massachusetts.
The responsibility of the ambulation orderly is to walk patients after having a cardiac surgery, such as a coronary artery bypass surgery or a valve replacement or repair. Patients will be randomized to receive visits from the ambulation orderly (ambulation group) or to receive the standard care of Baystate Medical Center (control group). The standard of care will be nurse-directed ambulation, as is currently done in all other nursing floors at Baystate Medical Center. Nurses will be instructed to walk with the patients as they did before the initiation of the ambulation orderly and as they do when the orderly is on vacation, at conferences, training, or away for illness.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Ambulation Orderly Intervention
Patients that are in this group are those randomized to receive visits from the ambulation orderly (ambulation group).
The patients in this group will receive the visits from the ambulation orderly in addition to the standard of care that occurs with the rest of the hospital and with the control group.
|
The responsibility of the ambulation orderly is to walk patients after having a cardiac surgery, such as a coronary artery bypass surgery or a valve surgery.
Baystate Medical Center hired an ambulation orderly May 8, 2013.
The ambulation orderly is generally a high school graduate with some training in safe lifting and exercise, but extensive training is not required.
In general, the goal is to have 1 ambulation orderly present 7 days a week for 8 hr per day.
When available, ambulation orderlies are responsible for walking the patients who have been cleared by the clinical exercise physiologist or nurse up to 4 times per day.
The walking of the patients occurs through the halls of the 6th floor of the Mass Mutual wing of Baystate Medical Center.
|
No Intervention: Control Group
This is for the patients who are randomized to receive the standard care of Baystate Medical Center.
The standard of care will be nurse-directed ambulation, as is currently done in all other nursing floors at Baystate Medical Center.
Nurses will be instructed to walk with the patients as they did before the initiation of the ambulation orderly and as they do when the orderly is on vacation, at conferences, training, or away for illness.
These patients will not receive visits from the ambulation orderly.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Average Daily Step Counts while on M6 (cardiac surgery general floor.)
Time Frame: From arrival on M6 to hospital discharge. This is typically from post operative day 3 until post operative day 9-12.
|
The patient will wear an accelerometer, which will keep track of the amount of steps the patient took each day over the course of the hospitalization.
|
From arrival on M6 to hospital discharge. This is typically from post operative day 3 until post operative day 9-12.
|
Average change in walking distance between baseline and final 6-minute walk
Time Frame: From arrival on M6 (baseline) to hospital discharge (final). This is typically from post operative day 3 until post operative day 9-12
|
Each patient will complete a 6 minute walk after arriving on M6 (from intensive care until) and again at hospital discharge.
The difference in distance walked will be compared.
|
From arrival on M6 (baseline) to hospital discharge (final). This is typically from post operative day 3 until post operative day 9-12
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Average Slope of Progression in Average Total Daily Step Counts
Time Frame: From arrival on M6 to hospital discharge. This is typically from post operative day 3 until post operative day 9-12.
|
The patient will wear an accelerometer, which will keep track of the amount of steps the patient took each day.
The progression between groups will be compared.
|
From arrival on M6 to hospital discharge. This is typically from post operative day 3 until post operative day 9-12.
|
Average Daily Step Count on the 3rd day after arrival on M6
Time Frame: 3rd day on M6 as part of study (typically post operative day 6 or 7)
|
The step counts on the 3rd day after arrival on M6 will be compared in all groups.
All patients are expected to still be in the hospital at this time.
|
3rd day on M6 as part of study (typically post operative day 6 or 7)
|
Average Total Daily Energy Expenditure
Time Frame: From arrival on M6 to hospital discharge. This is typically from post operative day 3 until post operative day 9-12.
|
The patient will wear an accelerometer, which will keep track of the total daily expenditure in calories per day.
|
From arrival on M6 to hospital discharge. This is typically from post operative day 3 until post operative day 9-12.
|
Average Total Time in Activity
Time Frame: From arrival on M6 to hospital discharge. This is typically from post operative day 3 until post operative day 9-12.
|
The patient will wear an accelerometer, which will keep track of the total time in activity.
|
From arrival on M6 to hospital discharge. This is typically from post operative day 3 until post operative day 9-12.
|
Pre and post 6 minute walk test vital signs
Time Frame: Each time the 6 minute walk test is done.
|
Heart rate, oxygen saturation, rating of perceived exertion, and rating of dyspnea will be measured before and after each 6 minute walk test.
|
Each time the 6 minute walk test is done.
|
Barthel Index
Time Frame: From arrival on M6 to hospital discharge. This is typically from post operative day 3 until post operative day 9-12.
|
The research staff and nurses or exercise physiologist will complete a survey to assess the physical independence of the patients.
|
From arrival on M6 to hospital discharge. This is typically from post operative day 3 until post operative day 9-12.
|
Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) Survey
Time Frame: Following the hospital stay within 2-6 weeks
|
The HCAHPS survey will be given to each patient at discharge to mail back to assess the overall satisfaction in each group.
|
Following the hospital stay within 2-6 weeks
