Effect of Early Mobilization on Length of Stay, Recovery and Readmission Rate of Patients After CABG or AVR/MVR Surgery
The Effect of Inpatient Intensive Early Mobilisation Intervention on Length of Hospital Stay, Medical and Functional Recovery and Readmission Rate of Patients After CABG or AVR/MVR: A Randomized Single Blind Controlled Clinical Trial.

Detailed Description
Although the effects of "early mobilization" have been studied mainly in the intensive care unit setting, the findings could be applied to the surgical units' patients too, since they share common physiological and clinical characteristics. In the literature the effectiveness of "early mobilization" in the length of hospital stay and recovery of the patients operated for coronary artery bypass graft and heart valve replacement in the cardiac surgery setting, is unknown.
The term "early mobilization" is not restricted to a time factor procedure but contains the provision of a customized dynamic set of physical therapy techniques which in studies are variably determined in terms of duration, intensity, frequency and content.
The aim of the study is to determine the clinical effectiveness of the intensive early mobilization physical therapy intervention compared with standard care of physical therapy in the cardio-thoracic surgery clinic of Papageorgiou General Hospital of Thessaloniki.
The present study will investigate the volume and extend of the expected physiological effects of "early mobilization" on the prevention of the clinical illness' detrimental sequelae and on the functional recovery promotion, hospital mortality and readmission rate of CABG, AVR and MVR patients. Consequently, it will investigate if the improved health outcomes may limit the number and intensity of complications and thus may speed up hospital discharge. In the first group of the experimental design, patients will be treated with an intensive early mobilization protocol and the patients of the second group will receive a standard care physical therapy treatment. Controlling for the detailed baseline characteristics that will be assessed during medical history at admission, potential bias will be limited from unmeasured confounders of the study.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Early mobilization group
Immediately after ICU extubation, enrolled patients will receive an intensive 30-45 minutes, implemented twice a day early mobilization protocol containing psychological empowerment, detailed informative education of patients and close relatives, close monitoring of the recovery course, frequent parameter protocol configuration, high intensity active progressive pulmonary and musculoskeletal exercises and mobility techniques, close monitoring for early identification and measures for prevention and treatment of complications.
|
Pulmonary techniques: lung mechanics and breathing pattern restoration, mucus clearance techniques, breathing control and cough techniques. Musculoskeletal techniques: strengthening and functional exercises, active assistive moving techniques. |
Active Comparator: Standard care group
Enrolled patients will receive the standard hospital mobilization protocol after their admission to the ward, containing standardized basic pulmonary and mobilization techniques of 15 minutes, once a day.
|
Pulmonary techniques: lung mechanics and breathing pattern restoration, mucus clearance techniques, breathing control and cough techniques. Musculoskeletal techniques: strengthening and functional exercises, active assistive moving techniques. |
