Key Points

This study aims to determine the incidence of orthostatic hypotension and intolerance during early mobilization after coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
Single-group pre-experimental design used for the study.
Sample included 108 patients who underwent coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
Data collected from two hospitals in Ankara between May 2018 and February 2019 using specific forms.
Patients mobilized according to a developed mobilization program.
Orthostatic hypotension observed in 48.1% of participants.
Orthostatic intolerance noted in 43.5% of participants.
Most intolerance cases appeared during the second mobilization phase (26.9%).
No significant difference in incidence between those with and without orthostatic hypotension (p = 0.269).
