CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS GRAFT (CABG)

This study looked at 142 adults having heart bypass surgery to see if a new, non-invasive test called the Oxygen Reserve Index (ORI) can better predict breathing complications after surgery compared to standard lung function tests (spirometry). The goal is to find a more accurate…

This study tested whether early exercise guided by wearable AI heart monitors can improve recovery after coronary artery bypass surgery. 84 patients were split into three groups: usual care, usual care plus aerobic exercise, or usual care plus resistance exercise. Both exercise g…

This study tested a special 'ultra-fast-track' anesthesia for people having heart bypass surgery. The goal was to wake patients up and remove their breathing tube right in the operating room or within an hour, instead of the usual ICU stay. Researchers compared 100 patients to se…

This study looked at two different solutions used to protect the heart during coronary artery bypass surgery. 40 adults having planned bypass surgery took part. Researchers checked blood samples, X-rays, ECGs, and recovery data from the first 48 hours after surgery to see which s…

This study looked at whether a condition called cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (nerve damage affecting heart control) increases the risk of kidney injury after coronary bypass surgery. Researchers followed 912 adults undergoing planned bypass surgery and tracked kidney funct…

This study reviewed health records of over 400,000 adults who had heart surgery to see if giving a sedative called dexmedetomidine around the time of surgery was linked to better outcomes within 30 days. The main focus was on whether it reduced confusion (delirium) after surgery.…

This study looked at 70 people having open heart surgery to compare two types of heart-lung machines: a newer, less invasive one and the standard one. The goal was to see which method better protects the body's tissues and the brain during surgery. Researchers measured oxygen del…
