Why the study?
Postoperative cardiac and pulmonary complications can lengthen hospital stay, and literature on whether cycle ergometer use improves this clinical scenario shows inconsistencies.
Does cycle ergometer use improve functional capacity and reduce length of hospital stay in adults undergoing cardiac surgery?
