Population

106 patients requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation after coronary artery bypass surgery

Comparison

Early rehabilitation therapy in the intensive… vs Rehabilitation therapy after leaving the ICU

Overview

Supports early rehabilitation after CABG with prolonged ventilation; confirms shorter mechanical ventilation and warrants outcome trials.

Structured PICO

Does early rehabilitation therapy decrease the duration of mechanical ventilation and hospital stay in patients requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation after CABG?

P
Population
106 patients requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation (>72 hours) after coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG)
I
Intervention
Early rehabilitation therapy in the intensive care unit (ICU) consisting of 6 steps (head up, transferring from supination to sitting, sitting on the edge of bed, sitting in a chair, transferring from sitting to standing, and walking along a bed)
C
Comparator
Rehabilitation therapy after leaving the ICU
O
Outcome
Duration of mechanical ventilation

Early rehabilitation therapy in the ICU significantly reduces the duration of mechanical ventilation, ICU stay, and hospital stay in patients requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation after CABG.
