Key result
Short-term yoga-based breathing for 5 days significantly reduced total anxiety scores compared to control (F = 29.44, P < 0.0001) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
Why the study?
Peri-operative anxiety in patients scheduled for cardiac surgery is detrimental, prompting an evaluation of the effect of short-term yoga-based breathing with different variations on peri-operative anxiety.

Short-term yoga-based breathing for 5 days significantly lowers presurgery and postsurgery anxiety in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
Short-term yoga breathing offers a feasible adjunct to lower peri-operative anxiety in cardiac surgery; extends RCT evidence for brief nonpharmacologic interventions.
Background: Peri-operative anxiety in patients scheduled for cardiac surgery is detrimental. This study evaluated the effect of short-term yoga based-breathing with different variations on peri-operative anxiety. Materials and Methods: A prospective randomized controlled study was conducted in patients aged 20–60 years scheduled for major cardiac surgery. Patients in Yoga group were trained for yoga based-breathing with different variations for 5 days; no intervention was done in controls. Results: We analyzed twenty patients in each group. Anxiety scores measured at baseline, presurgery, and postsurgery were entered as the within-subjects factor; group status was entered as the between-subjects factor in the RMANOVA. Baseline demographics and anxiety scores were comparable. The short-term yoga-based breathing exercise-training program had a statistically significant effect on state ( F = 13.45, P < 0.0001), Trait ( F = 13.29, P < 0.0001) and total anxiety scores ( F = 29.44, P < 0.0001) at different time points for yoga over control group. Conclusion: Short-term yoga-based breathing for 5 days lowers presurgery and postsurgery anxiety in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Azeez et al. (2021) conducted an RCT in Peri-operative anxiety in patients scheduled for cardiac surgery (n=40). Short-term yoga-based breathing vs. No yoga training was evaluated on Total anxiety score (STAI) at different time points (baseline, presurgery, and postsurgery) (F = 29.44, p=<0.0001). Short-term yoga-based breathing for 5 days significantly reduced total anxiety scores compared to control (F = 29.44, P < 0.0001) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
