Effect of respiratory muscle training on functional capacity related to the quality of life of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting with cardiopulmonary bypass: randomized clinical trial

Key Points

Exercise capacity improves significantly following inspiratory muscle training and physical therapy, which is crucial for recovery.
Participants experienced better quality of life metrics, indicating the intervention's broad benefits for well-being.

Structured PICO

Does inspiratory muscle training combined with physical therapy improve functional capacity and quality of life in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting?

Population

Patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with cardiopulmonary bypass (myocardial revascularization)

Intervention

Inspiratory muscle training with POWERBreathe combined with physical therapy

Outcome

Functional capacity (exercise capacity) and quality of lifepatient reported

Inspiratory muscle training combined with physical therapy improves exercise capacity and quality of life in patients undergoing CABG.

Abstract

Inspiratory muscle training with the POWERBreathe combined with physical therapy improves exercise capacity and quality of life in patients undergoing myocardial revascularization.Prospero database registration: RBR-2p4mz5.
