Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This trial tests whether a bundle of breathing exercises, early movement, and a bed cycle can help people recover faster after heart surgery. Researchers will compare 70 patients who receive the bundle with 70 who get standard care. The goal is to see if the bundle improves physical function and reduces complications like depression.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
a bundle of breathing exercises, early movement, and a bed cycle
What this could lead to
If it works, this simple, low-cost bundle could become a standard part of recovery after heart surgery, helping patients regain strength and avoid complications.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center study, so results may not apply to all heart surgery patients. The bundle requires extra staff and equipment, which may not be available everywhere.
