Prehabilitation and Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

December 13, 2021 updated by: Riphah International University

Effects of Resistance Training in Mild to Moderate Clinically Frail Patients Awaiting Coronary Artery Bypass Graft.

To evaluate the effects of Prehabilitation Resistance training on frailty and functional capacity in mild to moderate clinically frail patients awaiting Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting) CABG. This study will contribute to describing the effect of resistance training in mild to moderate frails patients and were directed to be the part of cardiac rehabilitation and define the effects of cardiac prehabilitation and to check whether the effects of resistance training or routine training is similar for quality of recovery in mild to moderate frails patients which undergone CABG.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

In literature, Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) is a form of heart surgery that redirects blood around clogged arteries to increase blood flow and oxygen to the heart. During CABG surgery, the surgeon uses a portion of a healthy vessel (either an artery or vein) from the leg, chest, or arm to create a bypass around the clogged artery. During CABG surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass, a heart-lung machine artificially maintains circulation blood and oxygenation while the surgeon operates on the heart. It includes exercise, lifestyle changes, education, and emotional support. It can help improve patient's health and enable them to live a more active life after the patient has had a heart attack or heart surgery or if the patient has long-term heart problems such as heart failure.

The time spent waiting for cardiac surgery to be scheduled is a period of great uncertainty for a patient. There appears to be heightened anxiety regarding the inclusion of physical activity in this time period, mainly as a result of their current cardiac condition or diagnosis

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: Prehabilitation group
Strength training along with warm-up and cool down for 8 weeks
Resistance training (10-15 repetitions: major muscle groups of upper and lower limbs [eg, shoulder overhead press, biceps curl, knee lift, and quadriceps extension in sitting and hamstrings curl exercises], one to three sets each) for 20-60 minutes five days a week.
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: Control group
Supervised Standard care plan for 8 weeks
Conventional physiotherapy group followed basic pre-operative respiratory physiotherapy including deep breathing exercises, instructions in coughing techniques, mobilization, and active exercises of the upper limbs and thorax. Walk 30 m in the hospital ward.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Frailty
Time Frame: 8 weeks
It is a scale ranges from 1 (very fit) to 9 (terminally ill). with common cut-off categories classified as non-frail (scores 1-3), vulnerable/ pre-frail (score 4) and frailty (scores 5-9). it is a simple, quick and highly predictive semi-quantitative tool.
8 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Functional capacity
Time Frame: 8 weeks
It is measured through six minute walk test which is a sub-maximal exercise test used to assess aerobic capacity and endurance. The distance covered over a time of 6 minutes is used as the outcome by which to compare changes in performance capacity.
8 weeks
