Summary

This trial tests whether a structured physiotherapy program started at least two days before coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and continued after surgery can improve recovery in high-risk patients. Participants are adults scheduled for elective CABG who meet at least three high-risk criteria, such as low heart function, multiple blocked arteries, or older age. The study compares the pre-and-post-surgery program to the same program given only after surgery, with the main goal of measuring hospital length of stay.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
a structured inpatient physiotherapy program including breathing exercises, incentive spirometry, bronchial hygiene, progressive mobilization, and postural exercises
What this could lead to
If it works, starting physiotherapy before surgery could shorten hospital stays and improve recovery for high-risk heart bypass patients.
What could go wrong
This is a single-center trial with 100 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The program adds extra effort before surgery, which some patients may find difficult.
