Overview

Supports early intensity-regulated exercise post-CABG; extends RCT evidence for in-hospital rehabilitation.

Structured PICO

Does an intensity regulated exercise programme improve functional capacity in patients following uncomplicated CABG surgery?

P
Population
38 patients following uncomplicated coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery
I
Intervention
Intensity regulated exercise programme implemented within 24 hours after extubation
C
Comparator
Structured usual care mobilisation protocol (encouraged to mobilise out of bed) implemented within 24 hours after extubation
O
Outcome
Functional capacity measured by the Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) at discharge and 10 - 14 days after dischargesurrogate

An early intensity regulated exercise programme significantly improves functional capacity at hospital discharge in patients recovering from uncomplicated CABG surgery.
