Why the study?

Does early spa rehabilitation improve exercise tolerance and lung function in patients after cardiac surgery?

Structured PICO

Does early spa rehabilitation improve exercise tolerance and lung function in patients after cardiac surgery?

P

Population

1,214 men and women (mean age 66 years, 71% male) undergoing early spa rehabilitation after cardiac surgery, transferred on average on post-operative day 8.

I

Intervention

Early spa rehabilitation including stationary bicycle, gym exercises, walking, and balneotherapy (massages, respiratory rehabilitation, inhalations, electrotherapy, baths).

O

Outcome

Exercise testing tolerance (bicycle ergometry), forced vital capacity (FVC), and forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) at the end of the spa stay.surrogate

Implication

Early spa rehabilitation after cardiac surgery is safe and associated with significant improvements in exercise capacity and pulmonary function.
