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
… cognitive impairment 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 …

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
… disturbances occur 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 …

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 …

The Effect of Tranexamic Acid on Transfusion Requirement in Dual Antiplatelet-Treated Anemic Patients Undergoing Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery
… Anemia is not 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 …

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?
… of patients being 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 …

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 …
