Epidural analgesia for coronary artery bypass graft surgery
… • reducing the incidence of early postoperative graft failure, through either; * reduction of native coronary artery and/or graft (conduit) spasm, or * reduction of postoperative hypercoagulability.

Functional Capacity Outcomes following Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery
The objective of this study was to determine if this is possible to predict 3 mo post-CABG treadmill VO2pk outcomes from a combination of pre-surgical physical fitness and health and clinical status variables. To determine the VO2pk, subjects performed a maximal treadmill test using a ramp protocol …

Cardiopulmonary Predicators of Dysfunctional Ventilator Weaning Response after Coronary Artery Bypass Graft
<p>Although the majority of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery patients are extubated within 6 to 8 hours following surgery, 20% to 40% of patients remain intubated 12 hours after surgery due to dysfunctional ventilator weaning response (DVWR). DVWR associated with increased morbidity and …

The short-term effects of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery on cognitive performance
… is a common complication of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. This study evaluated the short-term effects of CABG surgery on cognitive performance one to two days prior to surgery (baseline) and one-month post-surgery (follow up). 40 CABG surgical patients and 40 healthy, …

The short-term effects of off-pump cardiopulmonary bypass graft surgery on cognitive performance
… has been associated with coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). This study investigates the short-term effects of off-pump cardiopulmonary bypass graft surgery (OPCAB) on cognitive performance, as a possible safer alternative in the treatment of coronary artery disease. This research …

A comparison of cardiac rehabilitation, social support, and stress management training in coronary artery bypass graft patients
… in the rehabilitation of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) patients. Fifteen CABG patients were randomly assigned to one of three training groups: an outpatient cardiac rehabilitation exercise group (which met three times per week for three months); a second group which participated in …

The Relationship between Coping, Anxiety, and Quality of Life for Taiwanese Post-Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery Patients
Coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (CABG) is a stressful event and requires coping strategies to achieve adaptation. In Taiwan, despite the fact that the incidence of CABG is increasing in both men and women, research on post-CABG adaptation is very limited and no research focuses on outcomes …

Self-Rated Sleep Quality, Functional Capacity, and Physical Activity Status Three Months After Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery
… in patients recovering from coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. This sleep disturbance, at least in theory, might retard or limit the return of functionality and exacerbate psychological states known to increase use of health care services and adversely affect prognosis. This study …

The effects of preconditioning coronary artery disease patients with hyperbaric oxygen prior to coronary artery bypass graft surgery & cardiopulmonary bypass
IntroductionCoronary artery bypass graft (CABG) is associated with periods of ischaemia and reperfusion, which may lead to myocardial dysfunction. In clinical studies, hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) treatment following an acute myocardial infarction (AMI), has been shown to limit myocardial injury and …

An evaluation of the development and implementation of a clinical guideline for nurse led extubation of adult coronary artery bypass graft patients
Research Question Does standardising nursing practice through the implementation of a clinical guideline for extubating adult cardiac surgical patients early improve patient care? Aims Evaluate the development and implementation of a clinical guideline for nurse-led extubation of adult cardiac …

The Effect of Tranexamic Acid on Transfusion Requirement in Dual Antiplatelet-Treated Anemic Patients Undergoing Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery
… rare in patients presenting for coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). As these patients are frequently on dual antiplatelet therapy, the two coexisting conditions could potentially increase the risk of bleeding and transfusion. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of tranexamic …

Can postoperative length of stay or discharge within five days of first time isolated coronary artery bypass graft surgery be predicted from preoperative patient variables?
… discharged within five days of coronary artery bypass graft surgery. The ability to be able to predict those patients likely to be discharged within five days of surgery is important to improve the individual patient pathway, plan resources and surgical activity, and also to achieve current …

Versuch der Etablierung eines experimentellen Modells zum chronischen Hibernating Myocardium am Schweineherzen
… between the pulmonary artery and the LAD as a bypass graft. Coronary blood flow in the LAD was reduced by sequential inflations of a cuff occluder. Simultaniously, incremental increases of antegrade blood flow through the artificial bypass graft resulted in reduction of regional wallmotion, as …

THE DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF SECONDARY PREVENTION MEASURES FOR CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE
… shown that patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery after an acute myocardial infarction are less likely to receive these secondary prevention measures at hospital discharge relative to similar patients undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). Although …

Early Postoperative Complications in Open Cardiac Surgery. A Current Strategy for Prediction and Risk Stratification // Ранни постоперативни усложнения при отворена сърдечна хирургия – съвременен подход за предикция и стратифициране на риска
… patients who underwent coronary artery bypass graft surgery, valve surgery, or combined bypass and valve surgery at the Cardiac Surgery Clinic of St. Marina University Hospital in Varna from March 2017 to March 2020. Data on a total of 120 variables were collected for each patient, …

The effect of preoperative intensive care orientation on postoperative anxiety levels in spouses of coronary artery bypass clients
… the anxiety levels in spouses of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) patients. Therefore, this study tested if primary prevention reduces stress as proposed by Neuman by using a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design. A convenience sample of 50 spouses of CABG patients were met the evening …

Predictive haemodynamics of the human carotid artery
… and to assist in the design of stents and grafts. Initially, detailed statistical analysis is applied to a three dimensional parametric computer aided design (CAD) model of the human carotid bifurcation. A Bayesian surrogate modelling technique is proposed and discrete locations in the CAD …

Angiotensin II-induced Apoptosis in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells: Differential Effects in Human Saphenous Vein and Human Internal Mammary Artery
Coronary artery bypass grafting serves as a viable treatment for arterial vascular occlusions. However, the likelihood for developing restenosis following coronary artery bypass grafting surgery remains a major threat. Subsequently, assessing the physiological differences of conduit bypass vessels …

Development and investigation of polymeric vascular graft materials
… and subsequent ischemia is often treated using bypass grafts. Although autologous material, the preferred source for constructing a bypass graft, often provides a graft with satisfactory patency rates, it is not always available and suitable for use. In these cases synthetic material is often …
