Background Controlling risk factors and lifestyle modification in coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) patients plays an important role and leads to the empowerment of these patients to take care of themselves. One way to empower these patients is to improve their self-efficacy and hope. This study aimed to investigate the effect of the planned discharge on cardiac self-efficacy and hope of CABG patients. Methods In this quasi-experimental study, the sample consisted of 60 people (30 in the intervention group and 30 in the control group). Data were collected using the Miller Hope Questionnaire and Sullivan Cardiac Self-Efficacy Questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using central indices of mean and standard deviation and Chi-square, t-tests and one-way analysis of variance. The software used for data analysis was SPSS version 19. Results The mean age of participants in the control group was 91/9 ± 86/91 and in the intervention, group was 33/7 ± 7/58. There was no significant difference between the demographic characteristics, heart self-efficacy and hope scores of the participants in the control and intervention groups. After the intervention, there was a meaningful statistical difference between the two groups at discharge time and 1 month afterward in both hope and cardiac heart self-efficacy scores ( p = 0.001, 0.0001). Conclusion In this study, the implementation of the discharge program was effective in increasing the hope and cardiac self-efficacy of CABG patients and the use of the discharge plan is recommended to improve the outcomes of these patients.

Abstract Background: In India, with increasing trends of Coronary Artery bypass graft surgery, there has been little consideration in importance of psychological evaluation in those undergoing surgery. Our study aims to evaluate the efficacy of Buteyko breathing technique as a psychological intervention along with Phase 1 Cardiac Rehabilitation on Anxiety, Depression and Self-efficacy in CABG patients.Method: In this study, 44 CABG Patients will be enrol. Conventional group will receive 2 weeks Phase I Cardiac Rehabilitation and Experimental group will receive Buteyko Breathing exercises along with 2 weeks Phase I Cardiac Rehabilitation. The evaluations for Anxiety, Depression and Self-efficacy will be performed. Discussion:Collaborating secondary prevention for Psychological consequences in the management strategy after revascularization will help in decrease in-hospital stay, speedy return to work and can further ameliorate symptoms. This will open a window of opportunity for integrating early rehabilitation for psychosocial consequences to provide holistic management for CABG patients.The clinical trial registry-India(CTRI) registration number for this trial is CTRI/2021/05/033632.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the influence of ocean sounds (white noise) on the night sleep pattern of postoperative coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) patients after transfer from an intensive care unit. DESIGN: A before and after trial with an experimental and a control group was used in this intervention study. SETTING: A large public hospital with primary, secondary, and tertiary care facilities. PATIENTS: A consecutive sample of 60 first-time CABG patients was systematically assigned to the experimental or the control group. INTERVENTION: For the experimental group, the sounds were played on the Marsona Sound Conditioner (Marpac Corporation, Wilmington, NC) for three consecutive nights posttransfer from the ICU. No control of environment, except for the elimination of white noise, was done for the control group. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire, a visual analog scale, provided self-reported sleep scores on six variables. Analysis of covariance was used to test the difference between the posttest scores of the groups, with the pretest used as the covariate. RESULTS: There were significant differences in sleep depth, awakening, return to sleep, quality of sleep, and total sleep scores; the group receiving ocean sounds reported higher scores, indicating better sleep. There was no difference in the falling asleep scores. CONCLUSION: The use of ocean sounds is a viable intervention to foster optimal sleep patterns in postoperative CABG patients after transfer from the ICU.

Abstract Background Dual antiplatelet therapy is recommended for patients (pts) with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). However, 10–15% of pts have indication of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) for the index event and current guidelines recommend stopping clopidogrel at least 5 days prior to CABG. This waiting time could increase hospital length of stay, thus having negative impacts on costs and clinical complications. Purpose To evaluate if release to CABG based on platelet aggregability by Multiplate AnalyzerTM would be non-inferior in comparison with common practice (5 days) in terms of 24-hours post-CABG bleeding. Methods The PLAT-CABG (NCT 02516267) is a randomized, open label, non-inferiority trial (boundary 25%) testing a strategy of platelet aggregability-guided release to CABG versus standard-of-care on the primary endpoint of chest tube drainage in the first 24 hours post CABG. A total of 190 pts admitted with ACS, treated with aspirin + clopidogrel and with indication for CABG, were assigned to clopidogrel discontinued 5 days prior to CABG (control group) vs. daily measurements of platelet aggregability to ADP using Multiplate AnalyzerTM (intervention group) with CABG occurring after recovering from platelet inhibition (pre-defined as a threshold of 46 AU). Results The main results are depicted in the table Main results of PLAT-CABG study Variables Control Group (n=95) Intervention Group (n=95) P-value for superiority P-value for non-inferiority Chest tube drainage (mL), Median (25th–75th) 350 (250–500) 350 (250–500) 0.680 0.001 Time symptom to CABG (hours), Median (25th–75th) 191 (150–281) 166 (119–225) <0.001 NA Time surgery indication to CABG (hours), Median (25th–75th) 136 (112–161) 112 (66–142) <0.001 NA CABG = coronary artery bypass graft. Conclusion Platelet-aggregability guided release to CABG is non-inferior to standard of care in ACS patients awaiting CABG in terms of peri-operative bleeding and significantly shortens the time to CABG.

Background: Atrial fibrillation is one of the most frequent complications and a major risk of morbidity and mortality after cardiac surgery. Antioxidants such as vitamin C are used for prevention of this arrhythmia. Different results of studies have been reported, but most of them have shown efficiency of vitamin C in prophylaxis of postoperative AF. We tried to examine this efficacy with larger sample size. Methods: Three hundred and fourteen on pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery alone. Patients were divided into two groups: The intervention group received vitamin C (N = 160) and the control group did not receive any (N = 154). Intervention group was administered two grams of vitamin C intravenously (IV) 24 hours preoperatively, 500 mg every 12 hours IV for 48 hours in ICU, and 500 mg every 12 hours PO for 48 hours in ward. Continuous monitoring in ICU and three times a day ECG was used for AF detection. The two groups were compared. Results: The two groups were matched in terms of age, sex, LA size, ejection fraction, functional class, and TSH level. Of the patients, 244 were male. Mean age was 62 years (40-84 years) in both groups. M/F ratio was four in both groups. Functional class and ejection fraction were the same in both groups. There was no mean TSH level difference. AF occurrence in vitamin C group was 7.6 % and in control group was 7.8 %. There was no difference in ICU or hospital stay. Conclusions: Prophylactic use of vitamin C does not further reduce postoperative atrial fibrillation in on pump CABG patients.

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: Public grant(s) – National budget only. Main funding source(s): The Independent Research Fund Denmark Background Early systolic lengthening (ESL), a paradoxical stretch of myocardial fibers, has been linked to myocardial viability and contractile dysfunction. We assessed the long-term prognostic potential of ESL in coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) patients. Methods We retrospectively included patients (n = 709; mean age 68 years; 85% men) who underwent speckle tracking echocardiography (median 15 days) prior to CABG. Endpoints were cardiovascular death (CVD) and all-cause mortality. We assessed amplitude of ESL (%), defined as peak positive strain, and duration of ESL (ms), determined as time from Q-wave on the ECG to peak positive strain. We applied Cox proportional hazards models adjusted for the clinical risk tool, EuroSCORE II. Results During median follow-up of 3.8 years [IQR 2.7 to 4.9 years], 45 (6%) experienced CVD and 80 (11%) died. In survival analyses adjusted for EuroSCORE II, amplitude of ESL was associated with CVD (HR 1.37 [95%CI 1.13 to 1.66], P = 0.001) and all-cause mortality (HR 1.31 [95%CI 1.13 to 1.54], P = 0.001). Similar findings applied to duration of ESL and CVD (HR 1.17 [95%CI 1.08 to 1.26], P &lt; 0.001) and all-cause mortality (HR 1.14 [95%CI 1.07 to 1.21], P &lt; 0.001). The prognostic value of ESL amplitude was modified by sex (P interaction &lt; 0.05), such that it was greater in women for both endpoints (Figure 1A-B). When adding ESL duration to EuroSCORE II, the net reclassification index improved significantly for both CVD and all-cause mortality. Conclusions Assessment of ESL provides independent and incremental prognostic information in addition to the EuroSCORE II for CVD and all-cause mortality in CABG patients. The prognostic value was greater in women. Abstract Figure. Prognostic value of ESL amplitude by sex

Abstract Background Use of capnography as a non-invasive method during the weaning process for fast track extubation (FTE) is controversial. We conducted the present study to determine whether pulse oximetry and capnography could be utilized as alternatives to arterial blood gas (ABG) measurements in patients under mechanical ventilation (MV) following coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Methods In this randomized clinical trial, 70 patients, who were candidates for CABG surgery, were randomly assigned into two equal groups (n = 35); the intervention group and the control group. In the intervention group, the ventilator management and weaning from MV was done using Etco2 from capnography and SpO2 from pulse oximetry. Meanwhile, in the control group, weaning was done based on ABG analysis. The length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay, time to extubation, number of manual ventilator setting changes, and alarms were compared between the groups. Results The end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) levels in the intervention group were completely similar to the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCo2) in the control group (39.5 ± 3.1 vs. 39.4 ± 4.32, P > 0.05). The mean extubation times were significantly shorter in the intervention group compared to those in the control patients (212.2 ± 80.6 vs. 342.7 ± 110.7, P < 0.001). Moreover, the number of changes in the manual ventilator setting and the number of alarms were lower in the intervention group (P < 0.05). However, the differences in the length of stay in ICU between the two groups were not significant (P = 0.219). Conclusion According to our results, the use of non-invasive monitors, including capnography and pulse oximetry, is emphasized in order to utilize FTE after CABG surgery. Furthermore, it is a safe and valuable monitor that could be a good alternative for ABG in this population. Nevertheless, further studies with larger sample sizes and on different disease states and populations are required to assess the accuracy of our findings.
