Population

34 patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)

Comparison

Conventional physiotherapy plus additional… vs Conventional physiotherapy alone

Design

RCT, randomized

Follow-up

at hospital discharge

Implication

Early aerobic exercise maintains functional capacity after CABG; extends evidence supporting its addition to conventional physiotherapy.

Structured PICO

Does aerobic exercise applied early after coronary artery bypass grafting improve pulmonary function, respiratory muscle strength, and functional capacity?

P
Population
34 patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)
I
Intervention
Conventional physiotherapy plus additional aerobic exercise with cycle ergometer
C
Comparator
Conventional physiotherapy alone
O
Outcome
Pulmonary function by spirometry, respiratory muscle strength by manovacuometry, and functional capacity through 6-minute walking test assessed at hospital dischargesurrogate

Early aerobic exercise after CABG helps maintain functional capacity at hospital discharge compared to conventional physiotherapy alone, though it does not impact pulmonary function or respiratory muscle strength.
