NCT ID NCT07724353
First seen Jul 24, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026
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 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.
