Summary

This study tested whether watching a short video before coronary bypass surgery could reduce confusion (delirium) in the ICU and speed up recovery. 220 adults were randomly assigned to either watch the video or receive standard care. The video explained the surgery, ICU environment, and recovery steps like early walking and breathing exercises.
