Background: Chest physiotherapy (CPT) is a care that increases the mobilization of several structures from both muscle and subcutaneous tissue. We planned to investigate the effect of classic CPT on pain, fatigue, satisfaction, and hospital length of stay (LOS) in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). Materials and Methods: This study was a randomized controlled trial that conducted on 50 patients undergoing elective off-pump CABG. The patients have been randomly divided into two groups; in the group A (n=25) patients received physiotherapy at a single session of classic CPT, 4 times during 2nd to 5th days for 15 minutes in every session, in the group B (n=25) patients had not protocol of this exercise therapy (control). Results:The average age of all participants was 62.08 ±9.08 years. Of the 50 patients, 33 (66%) was male. Classic CPT significantly decreased pain (P=0.04), hospital LOS (P=0.010) and could increase in patients’ satisfaction (P<0.001). However, it had no considerable effect on fatigue (P=0.725). Conclusion: According to our findings, classic CPT could improve postoperative care after off-pump CABG surgery. [GMJ.2018;7:e838]

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, including Bangladesh. Besides medical and interventional treatment, coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery in an effective modality for the management of a subset of CAD patients. Off-pump coronary artery bypass graft (OPCAB) surgery is a recent modification of conventional CABG surgery, which, like other parts of the world, is being increasingly practiced in Bangladesh. But the outcome of this relatively recent surgical approach in our setting is largely unknown. In this study, the outcomes of 129 cases off-pump CABG surgery done in a tertiary cardiovascular centre and a private institute in Dhaka were analyzed. Majority (67, 54.2%) had triple vessel disease (TVD), while 4 (3.2%) patients had left main disease. One, two and three grafts were used in 17 (13.2%),74 (57.4%) and 38 (29.4%) cases respectively. There was no mortality. Post-operative complications occurred in 17 (13.18%) patients; secondary wound infection in 10 (7.75%) and immediate respiratory distress in 7 (5.43%) cases. Ten (7.75%) patients needed secondary stitches.Bangladesh Heart Journal 2016; 31(1) : 23-25
