This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.

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

Researchers are testing whether a structured Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program improves recovery for people having their first coronary artery bypass graft. The program bundles 31 care steps before, during, and after surgery, including patient education, nutrition support, pain control, and early mobilization. Fifty participants having off-pump bypass surgery are randomly assigned to receive the ERAS protocol or standard care. The trial measures recovery quality and symptom severity to see if the program makes a difference.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol, a structured set of 31 perioperative care steps
What this could lead to
If it works, this could give heart surgery teams a standard recovery plan that shortens hospital stays and helps patients feel better sooner.
What could go wrong
The trial is small, with 50 participants at one center, so results may not apply to all heart surgery patients. ERAS programs also require strict coordination, and any single step could be hard to follow consistently.
