Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cardiovascular diseases may be amenable to surgical intervention. To mitigate post-surgical complications, diverse strategies are employed, including pre-habilitation programs. This study examines the effect of an unsupervised pre-surgical respiratory physiotherapy program on both sexes in terms of hospital and intensive care unit (ICU) stay lengths, as well as the incidence of post-surgical complications, their severity, and mortality risk. METHODOLOGY Retrospective observational study of 418 adults who underwent open-heart surgery between 2018 and 2022. The subjects were divided into two sex-based groups based on attendance at individual pre-surgical physiotherapy sessions. A Mann-Whitney U test was employed to evaluate the impact of the pre-surgical respiratory physiotherapy program and a Kruskal-Wallis rank-sum test to assess its influence on both sexes. Additionally, a multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to evaluate the impact of various variables on overall length of stay. RESULTS The mean age of women was higher (p = 0.002), and they exhibited longer mean lengths of ICU (p = 0.004) and hospital stays (p = 0.031). In both sexes, a statistically significant reduction in LOS was observed among those undergoing a respiratory physiotherapy program. The linear regression analysis indicated that male sex was associated with a reduction in hospital and ICU stay lengths (p < 0.001). Although women experienced a higher number of complications (p = 0.043), no differences in severity levels or mortality risk were observed between sexes. CONCLUSION An unsupervised home pre-surgical physiotherapy program based on ventilatory exercises can reduce hospital and ICU stay for both men and women. Notwithstanding the higher incidence of complications in women, no differences in severity or mortality risk were observed between sexes.

Home-Based Physiotherapy Programme Reduces Hospital Stay and Costs in Cardiac Surgery. A Retrospective Cohort Study. PHYSIOTHERAPY RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2025; 30:e70032. [PMID: 39983054 DOI: 10.1002/pri.70032] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2024] [Revised: 12/12/2024] [Accepted: 01/25/2025] [Indexed: 02/23/2025]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cardiac surgery enhances cardiovascular disease (CVD) patient survival rates, and the fast-track protocol can reduce complications, hospital length of stay (HLOS) and associated costs. However, there is no evidence on the effectiveness of unsupervised physiotherapy programmes in reducing HLOS and postoperative pulmonary complications in patients undergoing fast-track surgery. The study aimed to determine if a pre-surgical respiratory programme reduces intensive care unit length of stay (ICULOS) and HLOS patients undergoing fast-track surgery, and its effects on post-operative complications and healthcare costs. METHODS This was a retrospective observational cohort study. The patients were divided into two groups: those who followed the exercise programme (pre-hab group) and those who did not (no pre-hab group). The study analysed the mean of ICULOS and HLOS for each group, recorded post-operative complications, and calculated healthcare costs using the Spanish Ministry of Health cost tables. RESULTS A total of 418 patients participated in the study with a mean age of 70.44 (10.87) years. The study found significant differences in HLOS (p = 0.001) and ICULOS (p = 0.003) between groups. Pre-hab HLOS was 232.8 (221.3) hours in the hospital, whereas no pre-hab LOS increased to 315.1 (277.9) hours. Pre-hab ICULOS was 82.0 (129.8) hours when No pre-hab ICULOS accounted 120.2 (190.3) hours. This reduction in hospital admissions resulted in savings of €356,107.16 in average healthcare costs for the pre-hab group. Mortality risk (p = 0.034) was also reduced in the pre-hab group (17.7% vs. 26.65% in the no pre-hab group). DISCUSSION An unsupervised home-based respiratory programme reduces hospital and ICU stay, healthcare costs, post-surgical pulmonary complications, and mortality risk. The clinical application of an unsupervised home-based pre-habilitation programme, focussing on ventilatory exercises and costal expansion techniques, has proven effective in enhancing patient recovery post-cardiac surgery, offering significant healthcare cost savings, and reducing the burden on hospital resources.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION High-Flow Nasal Therapy (HFNT) is an innovative non-invasive form of respiratory support. Compared to standard oxygen therapy (SOT), there is an equipoise regarding the effect of HFNT on patient-centred outcomes among those at high risk of developing postoperative pulmonary complications after undergoing cardiac surgery. The NOTACS trial aims to determine the clinical and cost-effectiveness of HFNT compared to SOT within 90 days of surgery in the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand. This protocol describes the methods and analyses planned for economic evaluation embedded within the ongoing NOTACS trial. METHODS AND ANALYSIS The economic evaluation will identify, measure and value resources and health outcomes in both trial arms and compare changes in costs with 'days alive and at home' and EQ-5D-5L quality adjusted life years (QALYs) from the perspective most relevant to the decision-making country. Results from pooling data across the trial will use health and social care sector perspective. All patient-specific data including hospital/community care and health outcomes will be collected prospectively. Unit costs will be sourced from national, published or local data. Missing data will be assessed, with values replaced depending on assumed mechanism of missingness, and impact of replacement on cost-effectiveness assessed. Costs and outcomes by trial arm will be presented as components and totals per patient using a range of descriptive statistics. Regression models for costs and effects will account for patient characteristics, quality of life and health service utilization at baseline. Uncertainty in parameters, sampling and heterogeneity will be addressed through deterministic, probabilistic and subgroup analyses to assess the impact of varying methods and assumptions for costs, outcomes and approaches used in base-case analysis. Results will be interpreted using recommended national cost-effectiveness thresholds. REGISTRATION DETAILS The study is registered with ISRCTN (ISRCTN14092678) on 13/05/2020. ISRCTN is a primary registry of the WHO ICTRP network and includes all items from the WHO Trial Registration data set.

BMC Gastroenterol 2025; 25:26. [PMID: 39844027 PMCID: PMC11753026 DOI: 10.1186/s12876-025-03626-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2024] [Accepted: 01/16/2025] [Indexed: 01/24/2025] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Prehabilitation is a crucial component of tumor rehabilitation that attempts to improve patients' preoperative health, although its efficacy in treating patients with cancers of the digestive system is still up for debate. METHODS The records from PubMed (MEDLINE), Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, EBSCO, Scopus, CNKI and Wan fang database up to November 2024 were systematically searched. The Cochrane Collaboration tool was employed for evaluating the risk of bias in each study, and the PRISMA 2020 checklist provided by the EQUATOR network was utilized. RESULTS Through quality analysis, 20 articles were included, involving 1719 patients. Although its effect on severe complications is still unknown, the prehabilitation significantly decreased overall postoperative complications when compared to standard care, with a risk ratio (RR) of 0.74 (95% CI: 0.65 to 0.84). Despite not shortening the postoperative hospital stay (MD: -0.13, 95% CI: -0.29 to 0.03), prehabilitation demonstrated notable improvements in the 6-minute walk distance (6MWD), with preoperative gains (MD: 25.87, 95% CI: 14.49 to 37.25) and sustained benefits at 4 weeks postoperatively (MD: 22.48, 95% CI: 7.85 to 37.12). However, no significant differences in 6MWD were observed at 6 or 8 weeks postoperatively. The average improvement in 6MWD from baseline to preoperative was 28.99 (95% CI: 10.89 to 47.08, P = 0.002), and from 4 weeks postoperative to baseline, it was 25.95 (95% CI: 6.84 to 45.07, P = 0.008), with no significant change at 8 weeks. The acceptance and completion rates of prehabilitation were commendably high at 61% (95% CI: 47-75%) and 90% (95% CI: 87-93%), respectively, alongside a relatively low dropout rate of 10% (95% CI: 7% to13%). CONCLUSIONS Prehabilitation reduces postoperative complications and improves short-term physical function in digestive surgery patients, with good patient acceptance; however, the long-term effects are unknown due to a lack of follow-up data. REGISTRATION It was registered with the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) with the identification code CRD42022361100.

The effects of exercise-based prehabilitation in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting surgery: A systematic review of randomized controlled trials. Heart Lung 2025; 69:41-50. [PMID: 39307000 DOI: 10.1016/j.hrtlng.2024.09.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2024] [Revised: 09/06/2024] [Accepted: 09/07/2024] [Indexed: 11/28/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative exercise-based rehabilitation improves the physical performance and health-related outcomes of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). However, the effectiveness of exercise-based prehabilitation in patients undergoing CABG remains unknown. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this systematic review was to investigate the effects of exercise-based prehabilitation on functional exercise capacity, postoperative complications, anxiety, depression, self-efficacy, quality of life, length of hospital and intensive care unit stay, frailty, and endothelial function in patients undergoing CABG surgery. METHODS This systematic review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The study protocol is recorded in the PROSPERO database (registration number CRD42023488530). PubMed, the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro), Google Scholar, Web of Science, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library were searched from inception to December 2023. The titles and abstracts of the studies were screened using Rayyan Ai software. After full-text screening, randomized controlled trials that met the inclusion criteria were included. RESULTS Five randomized controlled trials involving 616 participants were included. The systematic review suggests strong evidence that exercise-based prehabilitation improved functional capacity and moderate evidence that it reduced postoperative complications and length of hospital stay. Although there was conflicting evidence regarding the effects of exercise-based prehabilitation on quality of life, there was limited evidence of its effects on physical activity, anxiety, depression, self-efficacy, frailty, and endothelial function. CONCLUSIONS Exercise-based prehabilitation can be recommended for improvements in functional capacity, postoperative complications, and length of hospital stay in patients undergoing CABG.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between responsiveness to prehabilitation and postoperative recovery of physical function in cardiac surgery patients. METHODS Ninety-three cardiac surgery patients (mean age: 76.4 years) were included in this retrospective cohort study. Preoperative physical function was measured using the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), and a prehabilitation exercise program was implemented for the SPPB domains with low scores. Among the patients, those whose SPPB score was over 11 from the start of prehabilitation and remained over 11 on the day before surgery were defined as the high-functioning group, and those whose SPPB score improved by 2 points or more from the start of prehabilitation and exceeded 11 points were defined as the responder group. Those whose SPPB score did not exceed 11 immediately before surgery were classified as non-responders. The characteristics of each group and postoperative recovery of physical function were investigated. RESULTS There were no serious adverse events during prehabilitation. Mean days of prehabilitation was 5.4 days. The responder group showed faster improvement in postoperative physical function and shorter time to ambulatory independence than the non-responder group. The non-responder group had lower preoperative skeletal muscle index, more severe preoperative New York Heart Association classification, and a history of musculoskeletal disease or stroke. CONCLUSION There were responders and non-responders to prehabilitation among cardiac surgery patients. Cardiac surgery patients who respond to prehabilitation had faster recovery of physical function. Further research is needed to determine what type of prehabilitation is more effective in postoperative recovery of physical function in cardiac surgery patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary artery bypass surgery is the leading cause of change in the quality of life and pulmonary function of patients. One strategy to enhance lung muscle strength and improve overall quality of life is pulmonary rehabilitation. This study aimed to investigate the impact of incorporating a pulmonary rehabilitation program into phase II cardiac rehabilitation program on the quality of life of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery. METHODS This randomized clinical trial study included 53 patients who underwent coronary artery bypass graft surgery at Imam Reza Hospital in Mashhad between September 2019 and March 2020. The research participants were selected based on specific inclusion criteria and divided into two groups. The control group followed the routine rehabilitation program, whereas the intervention group underwent a pulmonary rehabilitation program for 20-30 min after each session of the cardiac rehabilitation program. Data collection tools included a demographic information questionnaire and the Ferrans and Powers' quality of life index. The data were analyzed using the independent t-test, Mann-Whitney test, paired t-test, Spearman correlation, Wilcoxon test, and SPSS25. RESULTS The mean quality of life score in the intervention group(20.7±1.8) was significantly higher than that of the control group (18.8±2.3)(P < 0.05). Furthermore, the intervention group exhibited significantly higher mean scores in the physical, psychological-spiritual, and family dimensions than the control group(P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The study results demonstrate the positive impact of incorporating a pulmonary rehabilitation program into cardiac rehabilitation on the health-related quality of life of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

Abstract
Objective Consumer-centred care is fundamental to high-quality health care, with allied health professionals playing a pivotal role in hospital settings. Allied health typically operates within standard weekday working-hours. Consumer preferences for receiving allied health services are largely unexplored but could inform whether weekend and/or out-of-hours services are required. This study aims to understand consumer preferences for hospital-based inpatient and outpatient allied health services. Methods Using a cross-sectional survey and convenience sampling approach, consumers of a public health service in Melbourne, Australia were surveyed about preferences for allied health service delivery. Electronic health record reviews compared the accuracy of self-reported service delivery times. Descriptive statistics, concordance and predictive values were calculated. Responses to free-text survey items were analysed using content analysis. Results Of 120 participants (79% response rate), most (69%) received allied health services, however, almost half of inpatient responders (44%) were unsure of the specific allied health professional involved. Audit results found moderate-high concordance overall (range, 77-96%) between self-reported and audit-identified allied health services by profession. Most inpatient responders had no strong day of week preference, equally selecting weekdays and weekend days, with most preferring services between 8 am and 4 pm. Outpatient responders (81%) preferred a weekday appointment between 8 am and 12 pm or before 8 am (29%) to complete scheduled activities early in the day. Conclusion While provision of allied health services during standard working-hours was preferred by most consumers, some inpatient and outpatient consumers are receptive to receiving weekend and out-of-hours services, respectively. Decisions about offering these services should consider operational capacity and research evidence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of sarcopenia and its impact in older patients undergoing inpatient cardiac rehabilitation (iCR) after cardiac procedure has been insufficiently studied. The main aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of sarcopenia and quantify the functional capacity of older sarcopenic and non-sarcopenic patients participating in iCR. METHODS Prospective, observational cohort study within the framework of the ongoing multicenter prehabilitation study "PRECOVERY". A sample of 122 patients ≥75 years undergoing iCR after cardiac procedure were recruited in four German iCR facilities and followed up 3 months later by telephone. At iCR (baseline), the Strength, Assistance with walking, Rise from a chair, Climb stairs and Falls (SARC-F) questionnaire was used to identify sarcopenic patients. In addition, Katz-Index, Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS), handgrip strength (HGS), Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) and 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) measured functional capacity and frailty at baseline. Outcomes were prevalence of sarcopenia and the correlation of sarcopenia to functional capacity and frailty at baseline as well as the SARC-F score at follow-up. The Wilcoxon test was applied for pre-post-test analysis. Correlation between sarcopenia and 6MWD, SPPB score and HGS was tested with the eta coefficient with one-way ANOVA. RESULTS Complete assessments were collected from 101 patients (79.9 ± 4.0 years; 63% male). At baseline, the mean SARC-F score was 2.7 ± 2.1; 35% with sarcopenia. Other baseline results were Katz-Index 5.7 ± 0.9, CFS 3.2 ± 1.4, HGS 24.9 ± 9.9 kg, SPPB score 7.5 ± 3.3 and 6MWD 288.8 ± 136.5 m. Compared to baseline, fewer patients were sarcopenic (23% versus 35%) at follow-up. In the subgroup of sarcopenic patients at baseline (n = 35), pre-post comparison resulted in a significant SARC-F improvement (p = 0.017). There was a significant correlation between sarcopenia measured by SARC-F and poor results in the assessments of functional capacity (p < 0.001; r > 0.546). CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of sarcopenia in older patients at iCR after cardiac procedure is high (35%) and remains high at follow-up (23%). Sarcopenia screening is important since the diagnosis of sarcopenia in these patients correlates significantly with poor functional capacity. The results indicate that these patients may benefit from prehabilitation aimed at improving perioperative outcomes, increasing functional capacity and mitigating adverse effects.

Abstract
Frail patients are scheduled routinely for elective cardiovascular surgery. Despite the proven association between frailty and postoperative outcomes, currently, there is no consistent evidence that the preoperative optimization of frail patients with preoperative nutrition support and exercise programs can alter postoperative mortality. Established frailty diagnostic tools are not sufficient to grasp the multidimensional nature of frailty in cardiovascular patients. Prehabilitation programs and preoperative nutritional support are time- and resource-consuming and, therefore, are hard to implement in routine clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between preoperative frailty and pulmonary complications after cardiac surgery in elderly patients is unclear. This study was designed to evaluate the relationship between frailty and postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in elderly patients undergoing cardiac surgery and to provide a basis for their prevention and treatment. AIMS This study aimed to investigate the predictive value of preoperative frailty on pulmonary complications after cardiac surgery in elderly patients. METHODS Frailty was assessed using the CAF. The diagnosis of PPCs was based on the criteria defined by Hulzebos et al., and patients were classified into a PPCs group and a non-PPCs group. Factors with clinical significance and P < 0.05 in univariate regression analysis were included in multivariate logistic regression analysis to determine the relationship between preoperative frailty and PPCs. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) was used to compare the predictive effects of the CAF, EuroSCORE II, and ASA + age on the occurrence of PPCs. RESULTS A total of 205 patients were enrolled in this study, 31.7% of whom developed PPCs. Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that frailty, ASA grade, EuroSCORE II, hemoglobin concentration, FVC, time of operation, and postoperative AKI were associated with the development of PPCs. However, after adjustments for all possible confounding factors, multivariate logistic regression results showed that frailty, prolonged operation time, and postoperative AKI were risk factors for PPCs, and the risk of postoperative PPCs in frail patients was approximately 4.37 times that in nonfrail patients (OR = 4.37, 95%CI: 1.6-11.94, P < 0.05). The predictive efficacy of the traditional perioperative risk assessment tools EuroSCORE II and ASA + age was lower than that of CAF. CONCLUSIONS Frailty before surgery, prolonged operation time, and postoperative AKI were independent risk factors for pulmonary complications after heart surgery in elderly individuals, and CAF was more effective than the traditional risk predictors EuroSCORE II and ASA + age.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Functional limitation is relatively common and can negatively influence the postoperative outcome of patients after cardiac surgery. OBJECTIVE To identify the predictive factors of functional limitation in patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery. METHODS Retrospective cohort study was performed to evaluate patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery. All patients underwent a cardiovascular rehabilitation protocol. Functional limitation was defined based on performance in the rehabilitation protocol following cardiac surgery. Poor performance in the cardiac surgery rehabilitation protocol defined functional limitation, whereas good performance indicated no limitation. RESULTS Data were collected from 548 patients; of these, 190 (34.7%) had functional limitation. In multivariate analysis, the factors associated with postoperative functional limitation were as follows: hospitalization by the public healthcare system [OR: 2.14; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.73, 2.65]; age (OR 1.23; 95% CI: 1.15, 1.31); length of hospitalization in the intensive care unit (OR 1.03; 95% CI: 1.01, 1.05); history of previous acute myocardial infarction (OR 1.40; 95% CI: 1.13, 1.73); presence of previous comorbidities [chronic kidney disease (OR 1.56; 95% CI: 1.15, 2.10); cerebrovascular disease (OR 1.57; 95% CI: 1.19, 2.07)]; presence of expiratory muscle weakness (OR 1.54; 95% CI: 1.08, 2.20); and intercurrence of cardiorespiratory arrest during hospitalization (OR 1.76; 95% CI: 1.40, 2.22). CONCLUSION Functional limitation after cardiac surgery could be predicted by multiple pre and postoperative factors, except for preoperative functionality, which does not suggest to be an independent factor for functional limitation after surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have demonstrated the efficacy of rehabilitation after a cardiovascular procedure. Especially older and multimorbid patients benefit from rehabilitation after a cardiac procedure. Prehabilitation prior to cardiac procedures may also have positive effects on patients' pre- and postoperative outcomes. Results of a current meta-analysis show that prehabilitation prior to cardiac procedures can improve perioperative outcomes and alleviate adverse effects. Germany currently lacks a structured cardiac prehabilitation program for older patients, which is coordinated across healthcare sectors. METHODS In a randomized, controlled, two-arm parallel group, assessor-blinded multicenter intervention trial (PRECOVERY), we will randomize 422 patients aged 75 years or older scheduled for an elective cardiac procedure (e.g., coronary artery bypass graft surgery or transcatheter aortic valve replacement). In PRECOVERY, patients randomized to the intervention group participate in a 2-week multimodal prehabilitation intervention conducted in selected cardiac-specific rehabilitation facilities. The multimodal prehabilitation includes seven modules: exercise therapy, occupational therapy, cognitive training, psychosocial intervention, disease-specific education, education with relatives, and nutritional intervention. Participants in the control group receive standard medical care. The co-primary outcomes are quality of life (QoL) and mortality after 12 months. QoL will be measured by the EuroQol 5-dimensional questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L). A health economic evaluation using health insurance data will measure cost-effectiveness. A mixed-methods process evaluation will accompany the randomized, controlled trial to evaluate dose, reach, fidelity and adaptions of the intervention. DISCUSSION In this study, we investigate whether a tailored prehabilitation program can improve long-term survival, QoL and functional capacity. Additionally, we will analyze whether the intervention is cost-effective. This is the largest cardiac prehabilitation trial targeting the wide implementation of a new form of care for geriatric cardiac patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this scoping review was to identify and map existing preoperative interventions, referred to as prehabilitation, in adult patients at home awaiting elective coronary artery bypass grafting surgery. This review also sought to report feasibility and patient experiences to shape clinical practice and underpin a future systematic review. INTRODUCTION As patients age, comorbidities become more common. Strategies to improve postoperative outcomes and to accelerate recovery are required in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting. Prehabilitation refers to a proactive process of increasing functional capacity before surgery to improve the patient's ability to withstand upcoming physiologic stress and, thus, avoid postoperative complications. INCLUSION CRITERIA Studies that included adult patients waiting for coronary artery bypass grafting surgery at home and that described interventions optimizing preoperative physical and psychological health in any setting were included. METHODS The JBI methodology for conducting scoping reviews was used to identify relevant studies in MEDLINE (PubMed), CINAHL (EBSCOhost), Cochrane Library, Embase (Ovid), Scopus, SweMed+, PsycINFO (EBSCOhost), and PEDro. Gray literature was identified searching Google Scholar, ProQuest Dissertations and Theses, MedNar, OpenGrey, NICE Evidence search, and SIGN. Studies in Danish, English, German, Norwegian, and Swedish were considered for inclusion, with no geographical or cultural limitations, or date restrictions. Two independent reviewers screened titles and abstracts, and studies meeting the inclusion criteria were imported into Covidence. Sixty-seven studies from November 1987 to September 2022 were included. The data extraction tool used for the included papers was developed in accordance with the review questions and tested for adequacy and comprehensiveness with the first 5 studies by the same 2 independent reviewers. The tool was then edited to best reflect the review questions. Extracted findings are described and supported by figures and tables. RESULTS Sixty-seven studies were eligible for inclusion, representing 28,553 participants. Analyses of extracted data identified various preoperative interventions for optimizing postoperative and psychological outcomes for adult patients awaiting elective coronary artery bypass grafting surgery. Based on similarities, interventions were grouped into 5 categories. Eighteen studies reported on multimodal interventions, 17 reported on psychological interventions, 14 on physical training interventions, 13 on education interventions, and 5 on oral health interventions. CONCLUSION This scoping review provides a comprehensive summary of strategies that can be applied when developing a prehabilitation program for patients awaiting elective coronary artery bypass surgery. Although prehabilitation has been tested extensively and appears to be feasible, available evidence is mostly based on small studies. For patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass grafting to derive benefit from prehabilitation, methodologically robust clinical trials and knowledge synthesis are required to identify optimal strategies for patient selection, intervention design, adherence, and intervention duration. Future research should also consider the cost-effectiveness of prehabilitation interventions before surgery. Finally, there is a need for more qualitative studies examining whether individual interventions are meaningful and appropriate to patients, which is an important factor if interventions are to be effective.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular disease is the most prevalent disease worldwide and places a great burden on the health and economic welfare of patients. Cardiac surgery is an important way to treat cardiovascular disease, but it can prolong mechanical ventilation time, intensive care unit (ICU) stay, and postoperative hospitalization for patients. Previous studies have demonstrated that preoperative inspiratory muscle training could decrease the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications.
AIM To explore the effect of preoperative inspiratory muscle training on mechanical ventilation time, length of ICU stay, and duration of postoperative hospitalization after cardiac surgery.
METHODS A literature search of PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang, and the China Science and Technology journal VIP database was performed on April 13, 2022. The data was independently extracted by two authors. The inclusion criteria were: (1) Randomized controlled trial; (2) Accessible as a full paper; (3) Patients who received cardiac surgery; (4) Preoperative inspiratory muscle training was implemented in these patients; (5) The study reported at least one of the following: Mechanical ventilation time, length of ICU stay, and/or duration of postoperative hospitalization; and (6) In English language.
RESULTS We analyzed six randomized controlled trials with a total of 925 participants. The pooled mean difference of mechanical ventilation time was -0.45 h [95% confidence interval (CI): -1.59-0.69], which was not statistically significant between the intervention group and the control group. The pooled mean difference of length of ICU stay was 0.44 h (95%CI: -0.58-1.45). The pooled mean difference of postoperative hospitalization was -1.77 d in the intervention group vs the control group [95%CI: -2.41-(-1.12)].
CONCLUSION Preoperative inspiratory muscle training may decrease the duration of postoperative hospitalization for patients undergoing cardiac surgery. More high-quality studies are needed to confirm our conclusion.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The design and implementation inconsistency of perioperative care programs limits their universalization, and it is where e-Health can standardize these processes. The objective of the study is to create a Smartphone App with a perioperative care program, implement it in a group of patients scheduled for a thoracic surgical procedure, and evaluates its use. METHODS A prospective and descriptive study. We created a Smartphone app (Fissios App) which contains 40 perioperative recommendations and 10 chest physical exercises. Patients were recommended to use it before and after surgery; to measure its use, we created and applied a questionnaire. A descriptive analysis of patient variables and questionnaire responses was performed and their association evaluated. RESULTS One hundred four patients were included, 60.3% were men with a median age of 62 years (51-71), and 26.72% had completed high school. The 89.3% of patients highlighted the ease of downloading and setting up the app. More than 90% of patients positively assessed clarity in explaining chest physical exercises and perioperative recommendations. One hundred four (79.4%) patients highlighted the contribution of the use of the app during the preoperative period to face the postoperative period. CONCLUSIONS We created a Smartphone app (Fissios App) with a perioperative care program and it was successfully implemented regardless of the age or educational level of patients. The tool clearly explains the information contained and the patients reported that its use before surgery helped them to face the postoperative period, with an appropriate level of physical demand and time of use.

Effects of pre-operative education tailored to information-seeking styles on pre-operative anxiety and depression among patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention: A randomized controlled trial. Int J Nurs Sci 2023; 10:174-181. [PMID: 37128491 PMCID: PMC10148264 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijnss.2023.03.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2022] [Revised: 02/06/2023] [Accepted: 03/19/2023] [Indexed: 05/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective This study aimed to evaluate the impact of pre-operative education tailored to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) patients' information-seeking styles on pre-operative anxiety and depression. Methods A single-blind randomized control trial was conducted. A total of 114 participants were recruited from the cardiology department in a tertiary hospital in Kunming, Southwest China from April to September 2020 and randomly allocated to the intervention group (n = 57) or control group (n = 57). All patients received oral pre-operative education as well as printed pre-operative education manuals and divided into monitors or blunters by the Chinese Version of the Monitoring Subscale of the Miller Behavioral Style Scale (C-MMBSS). The intervention group received pre-operative education tailored to information-seeking styles, while the control group received routine education. Anxiety and depression were measured at baseline and 1 h before the operation. Satisfaction with pre-operative education and length of stay were assessed at discharge. Results A total of 104 participants completed the study (52 participants in each group). Pre-operative education tailored to information-seeking styles was beneficial for reducing pre-operative anxiety (P < 0.01), reducing pre-operative depression (P < 0.01), and improving satisfaction with pre-operative education (P < 0.01) compared with routine education. There was no significant difference in length of stay between the intervention and control groups (P = 0.209). Conversely, pre-operative anxiety of patients was increased (P = 0.017) after pre-operative education in the control group. Conclusion This study confirmed that pre-operative education tailored to information-seeking styles effectively reduces pre-operative anxiety and depression and improves satisfaction with preoperative education.

Reis N, Gaspar L, Paiva A, Sousa P, Machado N. Effectiveness of Nonpharmacological Interventions in the Field of Ventilation: An Umbrella Review. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2023; 20:5239. [PMID: 37047855 PMCID: PMC10093871 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph20075239] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2023] [Revised: 03/06/2023] [Accepted: 03/10/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
This umbrella review aimed to determine the effectiveness of nonpharmacological interventions in pulmonary ventilation and their impact on respiratory function. An individual with impaired ventilation displays visible variations manifested in their respiratory frequency, breathing rhythm ratio (I:E), thoracic symmetry, use of accessory muscles, dyspnea (feeling short of breath), oxygen saturation, diaphragm mobility, minute ventilation, peak flow, walking test, spirometry, Pimax/Pemax, diffusion, and respiratory muscle strength. Any variation in these markers demands the need for interventions in order to duly manage the signs and symptoms and to improve ventilation. METHOD Systematic reviews of the literature published in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese were used, which included studies in which nonpharmacological interventions were used as a response to impaired ventilation in adults in any given context of the clinical practice. The recommendations given by the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) for umbrella reviews were followed. This research took place in several databases such as MEDLINE, CINAHL Complete, CINHAL, MedicLatina, ERIC, Cochrane Reviews (Embase), and PubMed. The Joanna Briggs critical analysis verification list was used for the systematic review. The data extraction was performed independently by two investigators based on the data extraction tools of the Joanna Briggs Institute, and the data were presented in a summary table alongside the support text. RESULTS Forty-four systematic reviews, thirty randomized clinical essays, and fourteen observational studies were included in this review. The number of participants varied between n = 103 and n = 13,370. Fifteen systematic revisions evaluated the effect of isolated respiratory muscular training; six systematic revisions evaluated, in isolation, breathing control (relaxed breathing, pursed-lip breathing, and diaphragmatic breathing exercises) and thoracic expansion exercises; and one systematic review evaluated, in isolation, the positions that optimize ventilation. Nineteen systematic reviews with combined interventions that reinforced the role of education and capacitation while also aiming for their success were considered. The articles analyzed isolated interventions and presented their efficacy. The interventions based on respiratory exercises and respiratory muscular training were the most common, and one article mentioned the efficacy of positioning in the compromisation of ventilation. Combined interventions in which the educational component was included were found to be effective in improving pulmonary function, diffusion, oxygenation, and functional capacity. The outcomes used in each study were variable, leading to a more difficult analysis of the data. CONCLUSIONS The interventions that were the focus of the review were duly mapped. The results suggest that nonpharmacological interventions used to optimize ventilation are effective, with a moderate to high level of evidence. There is a strong foundation for the use of the chosen interventions. The lack of studies on the intervention of "positioning to optimize ventilation" points out the need for a deeper analysis of its effects and for studies with a clear focus. This study supports the decisions and recommendations for the prescription of these interventions to patients with impaired ventilation.

Abstract
Perioperative optimization of cardiac surgical patients is imperative to reduce complications, utilize health care resources efficiently, and improve patient recovery and quality of life. Standardized application of evidence-based best practices can lead to better outcomes. Although many practices should be applied universally to all patients, there are also opportunities along the surgical journey to identify patients who will benefit from additional interventions that will further ameliorate their recovery. Enhanced recovery programs aim to bundle several process elements in a standardized fashion to optimize outcomes after cardiac surgery. A foundational concept of enhanced recovery is attaining a better postsurgical end point for patients, in less time, through achievement and maintenance in their greatest possible physiologic, functional, and psychological state. Perioperative optimization is a broad topic, spanning multiple phases of care and involving a variety of medical specialties and nonphysician health care providers. In this review we highlight a variety of perioperative care topics, in which a comprehensive approach to patient care can lead to improved results for patients, providers, and the health care system. A particular focus on patient-centred care is included. Although existing evidence supports all of the elements reviewed, most require further improvements in implementation, as well as additional research, before their full potential and usefulness can be determined.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to determine the effects of prehabilitation with neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) on muscle status and exercise capacity in patients before cardiac surgery. METHODS Preoperative elective cardiac surgery patients were randomly assigned to the NMES group or control group. Intervention in the NMES group was 7-10 sessions, whereas the control group carried out breathing exercises and an educational program. The outcome measures included a six-minute walk test (6MWT) and a muscle status assessment (knee extensor strength (KES), knee flexor strength (KFS), and handgrip strength (HS)) after the course of prehabilitation. RESULTS A total of 122 patients (NMES, n = 62; control, n = 60) completed the study. During the NMES course, no complications occurred. After the course prehabilitation KES, KFS, and 6MWT distance were significantly increased (all p < 0.001) in the NMES group compared to the control. There was no significant difference in HS before surgery. CONCLUSIONS A short-term NMES course before cardiac surgery is feasible, safe, and effective to improve preoperative functional capacity (six-minute walk distance) and the strength of stimulated muscles.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Type A acute aortic dissection (TAAAD) is a dangerous and complicated condition with a high death rate before hospital treatment. Patients who are fortunate to receive prompt surgical treatment still face high in-hospital mortality. A series of post-operative complications further affects the prognosis. Post-operative pneumonia (POP) also leads to great morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to identify the prevalence as well as the risk factors for POP in TAAAD patients and offer references for clinical decisions to further improve the prognosis of patients who survived the surgical procedure. METHODS The study enrolled 89 TAAAD patients who underwent surgical treatment in Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, Hubei province, China from December 2020 to July 2021 and analyzed the perioperative data and outcomes of these patients. Logistic regression analyses were used to identify the risk factors for POP. RESULTS In the study, 31.5% of patients developed POP. Patients with POP had higher proportions of severe oxygenation damage, pneumothorax, reintubation, tracheotomy, renal replacement therapy, arrhythmia, gastrointestinal bleeding, and longer duration of mechanical ventilation, fever, ICU stay, and length of stay (all with P<0.05). The in-hospital mortality was 2.3%. Smoking, preoperative white blood cells, and intraoperative transfusion were the independent risk factors for POP in TAAAD. CONCLUSION Patients who underwent TAAAD surgery suffered poorer outcomes when they developed POP. Furthermore, patients with risk factors should be treated with caution.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Prehabilitation prior to surgery has been shown to reduce postoperative complications, reduce length of hospital stay and improve quality of life after cancer and limb reconstruction surgery. However, there are minimal data on the impact of prehabilitation in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, despite the fact these patients are generally older and have more comorbidities and frailty. This trial will assess the feasibility and impact of a prehabilitation intervention consisting of exercise and inspiratory muscle training on preoperative functional exercise capacity in adult patients awaiting elective cardiac surgery, and determine any impact on clinical outcomes after surgery. METHODS AND ANALYSIS PrEPS is a randomised controlled single-centre trial recruiting 180 participants undergoing elective cardiac surgery. Participants will be randomised in a 1:1 ratio to standard presurgical care or standard care plus a prehabilitation intervention. The primary outcome will be change in functional exercise capacity measured as change in the 6 min walk test distance from baseline. Secondary outcomes will evaluate the impact of prehabilitation on preoperative and postoperative outcomes including; respiratory function, health-related quality of life, anxiety and depression, frailty, and postoperative complications and resource use. This trial will evaluate if a prehabilitation intervention can improve preoperative physical function, inspiratory muscle function, frailty and quality of life prior to surgery in elective patients awaiting cardiac surgery, and impact postoperative outcomes. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION A favourable opinion was given by the Sheffield Research Ethics Committee in 2019. Trial findings will be disseminated to patients, clinicians, commissioning groups and through peer-reviewed publication. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER ISRCTN13860094.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This meta-analysis aimed to assess the impact of nursing interventions (e.g., educational and empathic interviewing, motor exercise, therapeutic play interventions) on the perioperative outcome of children with congenital heart disease (CHD). METHODS We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, Cochrane, EBSCO, The Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wan Fang Data and the VIP Chinese Journal Service platform from the date of database creation to August 2021. Our study adhered to the recommendations of the Cochrane Handbook and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. RevMan 5.4 and Stata 16.0 were used to complete the meta-analysis. RESULTS This meta-analysis showed that comprehensive nursing intervention reduced both the length of hospital stay (weighted mean difference [WMD] = -1.982, 95%CI [-2.329, -1.634], P < .001) and the related risk of post-operative complications [OR = 0.345, 95%CI (0.225, 0.528), P < .001]. In addition, nursing intervention increased parental satisfaction with the care provided [OR = 0.308, 95%CI (1.923, 6.863), P < .001]. Nursing interventions have also had a positive impact in reducing preoperative anxiety [WMD = -6.721, 95% CI (-7.194, -6.249), P < .001] and postoperative pain [WMD = -7.103, 95% CI (-7.103, -7.663), P < .001] in children. CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis confirms the beneficial effects of comprehensive nursing interventions in terms of reduced complication rates and shorter hospital stays. The effectiveness of comprehensive nursing in reducing anxiety and pain levels was also demonstrated. The findings support the implementation of comprehensive care interventions in the perioperative period for children with CHD to improve clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Background We investigated preoperative physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviour (SB) in patients scheduled for elective cardiac procedures and compared them with population-based sample of Finnish adults. Methods Cardiac patients (n = 139) undergoing cardiac operations carried a triaxial accelerometer for seven days during the month before the procedure. Patients were categorised into four groups according to the procedure: percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary angiography (PCI-CA), coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), aortic valve replacement (AVR) and mitral valve surgery (MVS). The raw accelerometer data was analyzed with dedicated algorithms to determine metabolic equivalents (METs, 3.5 mL/kg/min of oxygen consumption) of PA. The intensity of PA was divided into two categories: light (LPA, 1.5–2.9 METs) and moderate-to-vigorous (MVPA, ≥ 3.0 METs), while SB represented intensity < 1.5 MET without movements. SB and PA were described as daily means and accumulation from different bout lengths. Daily standing, steps and mean and peak MET-values were calculated. The results were compared between the patient groups and against the reference group from a population-based study FinFit2017. Results Cardiac patients had fewer daily steps than the FinFit population (p = 0.01), and less SB accumulating from < 20 min bouts (p = 0.002) but more from 20 to 60 min bouts (p = 0.002). Particularly, CABG group had less daily MVPA (p = 0.002) and MVPA accumulating from > 10 min bouts (p < 0.001) than the FinFit population. Conclusions We found large differences in PA and SB between the patient groups and the FitFit population, CABG group having the worst activity profile. Also, the variation within the patient groups was wide, which should be considered to individualise the rehabilitation programs postoperatively. Trial registration clinicaltrials.gov (NCT03470246).

[PMID: 35470870 DOI: 10.1111/jocs.16537] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2022] [Revised: 02/28/2022] [Accepted: 04/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity rates globally continue to rise and in turn the body mass index (BMI) of patients undergoing cardiac surgery is set to mirror this. Patients who are Class III obese (BMI ≥ 40) pose significant challenges to the surgical teams responsible for their care and are also at high risk of complications from surgery and even death. To improve outcomes in this population, interventions carried out in the preoperative, operative, and postoperative periods have shown promise. Despite this, there are no defined best practice national guidelines for perioperative management of obese patients undergoing cardiac surgery. AIM This review is aimed at clinicians and researchers in the field of cardiac surgery and aims to form a basis for the future development of clinical guidelines for the management of obese cardiac surgery patients. METHODS The PubMed database was utilized to identify relevant literature and strategies employed at various stages of the surgical journey were analyzed. CONCLUSIONS Data presented identified the benefits of preoperative respiratory muscle training, off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting where possible, and early extubation. Further randomized controlled trials are required to identify optimal operative and perioperative management strategies before the introduction of such guidance into clinical practice.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW With an aging cardiac surgery population, prefrail and frail patients are becoming more common. Anesthesiologists will be faced with the decision of how best to provide care to frail patients. Identification, management, and outcomes in frail patients will be discussed in this review. RECENT FINDINGS Frailty is associated with a variety of poor outcomes, such as increased hospital length of stay, medical resource utilization, readmission rates, and mortality. Prehabilitation may play a greater role in the management of frail cardiac surgery patients. SUMMARY As frailty will likely only increase amongst cardiac surgery patients, it is important to develop multicenter trials to study management and treatment options. Until those studies are performed, the care of frail cardiac surgery patients may be best provided by high-volume surgical centers with expertise in the management of frail patients.

Abstract
Healthcare systems need to adapt to better serve an aging population with complex presentations. Frailty assessments are a potential means to address this heterogeneity in aging to identify individuals at increased risk for adverse health outcomes. Furthermore, frailty assessments offer an opportunity to optimize patient care in various healthcare settings. While the vast number of frailty assessment tools available can be a source of confusion for clinicians, each tool has features adaptable to the constraints and goals of different healthcare settings. This review discusses and compares barriers, facilitators, and the application of frailty assessments in primary care, the emergency department/intensive care unit and surgical care to cover a breadth of settings with different frailty assessment considerations. The implementation of frailty-aware care across healthcare settings potentiates better healthcare outcomes for older adults.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative pulmonary complications in patients who undergo open heart surgery are serious life-threatening conditions. Few studies have investigated the potentially beneficial effects of preoperative physiotherapy in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. OBJECTIVES Assess the effects of preoperative chest physiotherapy on oxygenation and lung function in patients undergoing open heart surgery. DESIGN Randomized, controlled. SETTING University hospital. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with planned open heart surgery were randomly allocated into an intervention group of patients who underwent a preoperative home chest physiotherapy program for one week in addition to the traditional postoperative program and a control group who underwent only the traditional postoperative program. Lung function was assessed daily from the day before surgery until the seventh postoperative day. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Differences in measures of respiratory function and oxygen saturation. Length of postoperative hospital stay was a secondary outcome. SAMPLE SIZE 100 patients (46 in intervention group, 54 in control group). RESULTS Postoperative improvements in lung function and oxygen saturation in the intervention group were statistically significant compared with the control group. The intervention group also had a statistically significant shorter hospital stay (P<.01). CONCLUSION Preoperative chest physiotherapy is effective in improving respiratory function following open heart surgery. LIMITATIONS Relatively small number of patients. CONFLICT OF INTEREST None. REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04665024).

Changes in Clinical Characteristics and Outcomes of Patients Admitted to Inpatient Cardiac Rehabilitation. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 18:ijerph18168871. [PMID: 34444621 PMCID: PMC8394864 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph18168871] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2021] [Revised: 08/17/2021] [Accepted: 08/18/2021] [Indexed: 12/04/2022]
Abstract
Aims: Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) has proven to be effective and beneficial in middle-aged and older patients. However, solid data in large cohorts of elderly individuals are yet to be explored. This retrospective study investigated the general characteristics, outcomes, and the level of response of patients referred to CR over 13 consecutive years. Methods: We reviewed the medical records of patients admitted to Villa Pineta Rehabilitation Hospital for exercise-based CR from 2006 to 2018. The patients’ baseline characteristics and changes following CR in an upper-limb weightlifting test (ULW), 30-s sit-to-stand test (30STS), and the 6-min walking test (6MWT) with associated Borg-related dyspnea (D) and fatigue (F) were collected. We also calculated the number of individuals that reached the minimal clinically relevant change (MCRC) following CR for each outcome. Results: One thousand five hundred and fifty-one patients (70.2 ± 9.7 years, 66% men) with complete datasets were included in the analysis. Coronary artery bypass graft and cardiac valve replacement surgery were the most frequent surgical procedures leading to CR referral (41.1% and 35.8%, respectively). The patients’ age (p = 0.03), number of total comorbidities (p < 0.0001), and post-surgical complications (p = 0.02) significantly increased over time. In contrast, the average absolute changes in ULW, 30STS, and 6MWT with associated D and F, and the proportion of patients that reached their respective MCRC, remained constant over the same period. Conclusion: The patients admitted to exercise-based CR were older and had more comorbidities and complications over time. The outcomes, however, were not influenced in terms of the absolute change or clinically meaningful response.

Abstract
Rationale: Poor preoperative physical fitness and respiratory muscle weakness are associated with postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) that result in prolonged hospital length of stay and increased mortality.Objectives: To examine the effect of preoperative exercise training on the risk of PPCs across different surgical settings.Methods: We searched MEDLINE, Web of Science, Embase, the Physiotherapy Evidence Database, and the Cochrane Central Register, without language restrictions, for studies from inception to July 2020. We included randomized controlled trials that compared patients receiving exercise training with those receiving usual care or sham training before cardiac, lung, esophageal, or abdominal surgery. PPCs were the main outcome; secondary outcomes were preoperative functional changes and postoperative mortality, cardiovascular complications, and hospital length of stay. The study was registered with PROSPERO (International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews).Results: From 29 studies, 2,070 patients were pooled for meta-analysis. Compared with the control condition, preoperative exercise training was associated with a lower incidence of PPCs (23 studies, 1,864 patients; relative risk, 0.52; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.41 to 0.66; grading of evidence, moderate); Trial Sequential Analysis confirmed effectiveness, and there was no evidence of difference of effect across surgeries, type of training (respiratory muscles, endurance or combined), or preoperative duration of training. At the end of the preoperative period, exercise training resulted in increased peak oxygen uptake (weighted mean difference [WMD], +2 ml/kg/min; 99% CI, 0.3 to 3.7) and higher maximal inspiratory pressure (WMD, +12.2 cm H2O; 99% CI, 6.3 to 18.2). Hospital length of stay was shortened (WMD, -2.3 d; 99% CI, -3.82 to -0.75) in the intervention group, whereas no difference was found in postoperative mortality.Conclusions: Preoperative exercise training improves physical fitness and reduces the risk of developing PPCs while minimizing hospital resources use, regardless of the type of intervention and surgery performed.Systematic review registered with https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/ (CRD 42018096956).

Perioperative digital behaviour change interventions for reducing alcohol consumption, improving dietary intake, increasing physical activity and smoking cessation: a scoping review. Perioper Med (Lond) 2021; 10:18.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evidence suggests that unhealthy lifestyle behaviours are modifiable risk factors for postoperative complications. Digital behaviour change interventions (DBCIs), for instance text messaging programs and smartphone apps, have shown promise in achieving lifestyle behaviour change in a wide range of clinical populations, and it may therefore be possible to reduce postoperative complications by supporting behaviour change perioperatively using digital interventions. This scoping review was conducted in order to identify existing research done in the area of perioperative DBCIs for reducing alcohol consumption, improving dietary intake, increasing physical activity and smoking cessation. MAIN TEXT This scoping review included eleven studies covering a range of surgeries: bariatric, orthopaedic, cancer, transplantation and elective surgery. The studies were both randomised controlled trials and feasibility studies and investigated a diverse set of interventions: one game, three smartphone apps, one web-based program and five text message interventions. Feasibility studies reported user acceptability and satisfaction with the behaviour change support. Engagement data showed participation rates ranged from 40 to 90%, with more participants being actively engaged early in the intervention period. In conclusion, the only full-scale randomised controlled trial (RCT), text messaging ahead of bariatric surgery did not reveal any benefits with respect to adherence to preoperative exercise advice when compared to a control group. Two of the pilot studies, one text message intervention, one game, indicated change in a positive direction with respect to alcohol and tobacco outcomes, but between group comparisons were not done due to small sample sizes. The third pilot-study, a smartphone app, found between group changes for physical activity and alcohol, but not with respect to smoking cessation outcomes. CONCLUSION This review found high participant satisfaction, but shows recruitment and timing-delivery issues, as well as low retention to interventions post-surgery. Small sample sizes and the use of a variety of feasibility outcome measures prevent the synthesis of results and makes generalisation difficult. Future research should focus on defining standardised outcome measures, enhancing patient engagement and improving adherence to behaviour change prior to scheduled surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND After cardiac surgery, physiological abnormalities or adverse events might occur in patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) during physical therapy care. Identifying these events may help improve patient safety and care. OBJECTIVES To estimate the incidence and the degree of severity of physiological abnormalities or adverse events during physical therapy interventions provided in the ICU after cardiac surgery. To explore the relationship between these events and patients' characteristics and clinical outcomes. METHODS Prospective observational study of adult patients in the postoperative period of cardiac surgery admitted to the ICU of a referenced university hospital. Physical therapy interventions were observed by a team trained to evaluate and register the occurrence of physiological abnormalities or adverse events and grading their consequences. We compared baseline characteristics and outcomes of patients with versus without these events. RESULTS We observed 935 physical therapy interventions in 323 patients, of which 189 (20%, 95% confidence interval: 18, 23%) resulted in physiological abnormalities or adverse events. The highest incidences of these events were observed during endotracheal suctioning (44%), walking (40%), and noninvasive ventilation (37%). Hemodynamic changes were the most frequent events accounting for 74% of all events. Only 2% of interventions resulted in mild harm and 0.2% in moderate harm. The presence of comorbidities was associated (p = 0.03) with the occurrence of these events. CONCLUSION Physiological abnormalities or adverse events occurred in 20% of physical therapy interventions in patients in the ICU after cardiac surgery, with 10% of those resulting in negative effects. Only the presence of comorbidities was associated with the occurrence of these events.

Abstract
Postoperative pulmonary complications are a common cause of morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, leading to an increase in length of hospital stay and healthcare costs. This systematic literature review aims to determine whether patients undergoing cardiac surgery who undergo preoperative breathing exercise training have better postoperative outcomes such as respiratory parameters, postoperative pulmonary complications, and length of hospital stay. Systematic searches were performed in the CINAHL, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Cochrane Clinical Answers, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, MEDLINE and MedicLatina databases. Studies were included if they examined adult patients scheduled for elective cardiac surgery, who underwent a preoperative breathing exercise training aimed at improving breathing parameters, preventing postoperative pulmonary complications, and reducing hospital length of stay. This systematic review was based on Cochrane and Prisma statement recommendations in the design, literature search, analysis, and reporting of the review. The search yielded 608 records. Eleven studies met the inclusion criteria. Ten studies were randomized controlled trials and one was an observational cohort study. Data from 1240 participants was retrieved from these studies and meta-analysis was performed whenever possible. A preoperative breathing intervention on patients undergoing cardiac surgery may help improve respiratory performance after surgery, reduce postoperative pulmonary complications and hospital length of stay. However, more trials are needed to support and strengthen the evidence.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the effectiveness of prehabilitation in patients with degenerative disorders of the lumbar spine who are scheduled for spine surgery. DESIGN Intervention systematic review with meta-analysis. LITERATURE SEARCH Seven electronic databases were systematically searched for randomized controlled trials or propensity-matched cohorts. STUDY SELECTION CRITERIA Studies that measured the effect of prehabilitation interventions (ie, exercise therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy [CBT]) on physical functioning, pain, complications, adverse events related to prehabilitation, health-related quality of life, psychological outcomes, length of hospital stay, use of analgesics, and return to work were included. DATA SYNTHESIS Data were extracted at baseline (preoperatively) and at short-term (6 weeks or less), medium-term (greater than 6 weeks and up to 6 months), and long-term (greater than 6 months) follow-ups. Pooled effects were analyzed as mean differences and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Certainty of evidence was assessed using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) framework. RESULTS Cognitive behavioral therapy interventions were no more effective than usual care for all outcomes. Pooled effect sizes were -2.0 (95% CI: -4.4, 0.4) for physical functioning, -1.9 (95% CI: -5.2, 1.4) for back pain, and -0.4 (95% CI: -4.1, 0.4) for leg pain. Certainty of evidence for CBT ranged from very low to low. Only 1 study focused on exercise therapy and found a positive effect on short-term outcomes. CONCLUSION There was very low-certainty to low-certainty evidence of no additional effect of CBT interventions on outcomes in patients scheduled for lumbar surgery. Existing evidence was too limited to draw conclusions about the effects of exercise therapy. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2021;51(3):103-114. Epub 25 Dec 2020. doi:10.2519/jospt.2021.9748.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Physical prehabilitation (preparative rehabilitation) programs may have beneficial effects on enhancing physical strength and functional status before surgery, but their effects on postoperative recovery are unclear. OBJECTIVES This systematic review investigated the effectiveness of physical prehabilitation programs before cardiac surgery on postoperative recovery and other perioperative outcomes. METHODS We searched for reports of randomised controlled trials of any prehabilitation programs that included physical activity or an exercise training component in adults undergoing elective cardiac surgery, published in any language, from six bibliographic databases (last search on June 20, 2019). We assessed trials for risk of bias, overall certainty of evidence and quality of intervention reporting using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Assessment Tool, GRADE system and the Template for Intervention Description and Replication checklist and guide, respectively. RESULTS All 7 studies (726 participants) were at high risk of bias because of lack of blinding. The quality of prehabilitation reporting was moderate because program adherence was rarely assessed. The timing of prehabilitation ranged from 5 days to 16 weeks before surgery and from face-to-face exercise prescription to telephone counselling and monitoring. We found uncertain effects of prehabilitation on postoperative clinical outcomes (among the many outcomes assessed): perioperative mortality (Peto odds ratio 1.30, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.28 to 5.95; I2=0%; low-certainty evidence) and postoperative atrial fibrillation (relative risk 0.75, 95% CI 0.38 to 1.46; I2=50%; very low-certainty evidence). However, prehabilitation may improve postoperative functional capacity and slightly shorten the hospital stay (mean difference -0.66 days, 95% CI -1.29 to -0.03; I2=45%; low-certainty evidence). CONCLUSION Despite the high heterogeneity among physical prehabilitation trials and the uncertainty regarding robust clinical outcomes, physical prehabilitation before cardiac surgery seems to enhance selected postoperative functional performance measures and slightly reduce the hospital length of stay after cardiac surgery.

[PMID: 34285430 PMCID: PMC8253066 DOI: 10.20471/acc.2020.59.04.05] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2019] [Accepted: 03/05/2019] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of preoperative respiratory rehabilitation on functional capacity, length of stay in intensive care unit (ICU), duration of mechanical ventilation (MV) and total hospitalization, as well as to estimate arterial blood gas (ABG) values in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Nineteen patients were included in the randomized observational study, divided into two groups: group A (intervention) and B (control). Preoperative and postoperative rehabilitation was performed in group A, and only postoperative rehabilitation in group B. Rehabilitation was carried out according to a predefined protocol. We used ABG to evaluate respiratory function, two-minute walk test (2MWT) and sit-to-stand test to assess functional capacity. The following data were obtained from medical documentation: duration of MV, length of stay at ICU, occurrence of postoperative pulmonary complications, and length of total hospitalization in both groups. Significant between-group difference was found for the length of total hospitalization and duration of MV (p<0.05 both). Analysis of the mean values of 2MWT on the last day of hospitalization (p=0.005), sit-to-stand test before surgery (p=0.022) and on the last day of hospitalization (p=0.008) showed statistically significant differences. The length of hospital stay significantly correlated with preoperative rehabilitation in group A (r=0.885; p<0.0001). There was no difference in ABG parameters between the groups. The study showed that preoperative respiratory rehabilitation had an effect on reducing duration of MV and length of total hospitalization, and improved functional capacity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the impact of an exercise-based prehabilitation (EBPrehab) program on pre- and postoperative exercise capacity, functional capacity (FC) and quality of life (QoL) in patients awaiting elective coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). DESIGN A two-group randomized controlled trail. SETTING Ambulatory prehabilitation. SUBJECTS Overall 230 preoperative elective CABG-surgery patients were randomly assigned to an intervention (IG, n = 88; n = 27 withdrew after randomization) or control group (CG, n = 115). INTERVENTION IG: two-week EBPrehab including supervised aerobic exercise. CG: usual care. MAIN MEASURES At baseline (T1), one day before surgery (T2), at the beginning (T3) and at the end of cardiac rehabilitation (T4) the following measurements were performed: cardiopulmonary exercise test, six-minute walk test (6MWT), Timed-Up-and-Go Test (TUG) and QoL (MacNew questionnaire). RESULTS A total of 171 patients (IG, n = 81; CG, n = 90) completed the study. During EBPrehab no complications occurred. Preoperatively FC (6MWTIG: 443.0 ± 80.1 m to 493.5 ± 75.5 m, P = 0.003; TUGIG: 6.9 ± 2.0 s to 6.1 ± 1.8 s, P = 0.018) and QoL (IG: 5.1 ± 0.9 to 5.4 ± 0.9, P < 0.001) improved significantly more in IG compared to CG. Similar effects were observed postoperatively in FC (6MWDIG: Δ-64.7 m, pT1-T3 = 0.013; Δ+47.2 m, pT1-T4 < 0.001; TUGIG: Δ+1.4 s, pT1-T3 = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS A short-term EBPrehab is effective to improve perioperative FC and preoperative QoL in patients with stable coronary artery disease awaiting CABG-surgery.ID: NCT04111744 (www.ClinicalTrials.gov; Preoperative Exercise Training for Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery- A Prospective Randomized Trial).

Abstract
Elderly patients awaiting lung resection surgery often have poor physical function, which puts them at a high risk of postoperative pulmonary complications. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of preoperative physical performance on postoperative pulmonary complications in patients awaiting lung resection surgery. In this prospective multicenter cohort study, the characteristics of patients and postoperative pulmonary complications were compared between subjects with low (<10) and high (≥10) Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) scores. Postoperative pulmonary complications were defined as over grade II in Clavien-Dindo classification system. We estimated the effects of physical performance on postoperative pulmonary complications using multivariable hierarchical logistic regression. The postoperative pulmonary complications were compared between 331 patients in the high and 33 patients in the low SPPB group. Patients in the low SPPB score group had a significantly higher rate of postoperative pulmonary complications (p < 0.001). Low SPPB score was associated with a higher risk of postoperative pulmonary complications (odds ratio, 8.80; p < 0.001). The SPPB is a clinically useful evaluation tool to assess surgical patients’ physical performance. The low physical performance indicated by the SPPB may be predictive of postoperative pulmonary complications after lung resection surgery. Trial registration: Clinical Trials.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Multimorbidity in elderly patients increases complications and retards the recovery of pulmonary function after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. We aimed to evaluate the impact of multiple-intervention pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) on respiratory muscle strength and dyspnea scores after CABG in adult patients aged ≥65 years who had multimorbidity. METHODS A cohort study was retrospectively conducted with 95 adults aged ≥65 years who underwent CABG surgery and completed a multiple-intervention PR program. RESULTS Patients in the non-multimorbidity (n = 56) and multimorbidity groups (n = 39) were evaluated on the basis of their muscle strength, degree of dyspnea, and pulmonary function. Postoperative complications were compared after the completion of PR. Between extubation days 1 and 14, the multimorbidity group showed significant improvements in maximal inspiratory pressure (16.91 vs. 24.95 cmH2O, P < 0.001), Borg Scale score (0.99 vs. 2.3, P < 0.001), and the ratio of forced expiratory volume in 1 s to forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC ratio) of 7.02% vs. 13.4% (P = 0.01). The incidence rates of pulmonary complications were similar between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS Multi-interventional PR program significantly improved the maximal inspiratory pressure, Borg scale score, and FEV1/FVC ratio in the adult patients aged ≥65 years who had multimorbidity after undergoing CABG surgery.

Abstract
Background: Complete cytoreduction is acknowledged to be an effective way to achieve macroscopic tumor clearance for a variety of tumors confined to the peritoneal cavity. Recent trials have shown that surgery respecting anatomical planes results in excellent outcomes and even the chance of cure for some from what was once thought to be life-limiting disease. Objective: To describe peritonectomy procedures in the current era. Method: A thorough and systematic method for cytoreductive surgery aimed at complete surgical resection of peritoneal metastases (PMs) was described. Results: The general principles of cytoreductive surgery were set out including preoperative preparation, patient positioning and incision. Strategies for assessing disease extent and planning surgical steps were outlined and established peritonectomy procedures such as Glisson's capsulectomy, omentectomy, left and right diaphragmatic peritonectomy, lesser omentectomy, stripping of the omental bursa, and pelvic peritonectomy were described. Novel techniques such as anterior pancreatic peritonectomy, small bowel mesenteric peritonectomy and cardiophrenic lymph node dissection were explained, and illustrated with accompanying video. Conclusion: Peritoneal metastases present a challenge to the surgeon which calls for a unique skill set if optimal outcomes are to be achieved. Attempts to standardize the surgical techniques described will allow further refinement as new technological advances occur.

Abstract
Introduction Loss of physical activity and pulmonary dysfunction with its associated complications represent two of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality following cardiac surgery. Few studies have investigated the effects of preoperative interventions targeted at improving cardiorespiratory and musculoskeletal function in the postoperative period. Aim To evaluate whether a physiotherapy program based on respiratory training with or without musculoskeletal mobilization, started preoperatively, may provide a significant improvement in pulmonary and musculoskeletal recovery postoperatively in patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery. Material and methods Patients with similar baseline and preoperative characteristics were randomly assigned to a preoperative respiratory physiotherapy protocol (group A), a preoperative respiratory and motor physiotherapy protocol (group B), or no preoperative specific physiotherapy protocol but only a simplified perioperative standard physiotherapy protocol (control group or group C). Group A consisted of 19 patients, group B of 20, group C of 20. Data on 6-minute walking test, peak expiratory flow, and from blood gas analysis were retrospectively analyzed. Results As compared with group C, a statistically significant improvement was observed in the two preoperatively treated groups A and B in terms of longer pre- and postoperative distance traveled at the 6-minute walking test, better pre- and postoperative peak expiratory flow value, and better PaO2 and SaO2 values in postoperative blood gas measurements (p < 0.05, for all comparisons). A statistically significant reduction of the postoperative length of in-hospital stay was also observed in group B. Conclusions As compared with the control group, substantially better clinical results for respiratory and musculoskeletal function were found in the groups preoperatively treated with physiotherapeutic protocols immediately before as well as after cardiac surgery.

Abstract
Summary
A best evidence topic in cardiac surgery was written according to a structured protocol. The question addressed was: does prehabilitation improve outcomes in cardiac surgical patients? Altogether more than 483 papers were found using the reported search, of which 10 represented the best evidence to answer the clinical question. The authors, journal, date and country of publication, patient group studied, study type, relevant outcomes and results of these papers are tabulated. Four meta-analyses concluded that prehabilitation reduced postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs). The 6 randomized controlled trials (RCT) included, differed significantly in the type of prehabilitation delivered. There was replication of some RCTs across the meta-analyses. The consensus across the meta-analyses was a reduction in PPCs and 3 of 4 meta-analyses finding a reduction in length of stay (LOS). There were no adverse events or difference in mortality found. Two small RCTs showed feasibility and modest improvements in physiological parameters. Three RCTs demonstrated a reduction in LOS and a reduction in PPCs. One RCT found no difference in quality of life scores, LOS or postoperative atrial fibrillation. None of the RCTs found negative evidence of prehabilitation interventions. We conclude that the prehabilitation is a positive preoperative intervention, most favourably in older patients and in those who are at risk of PPCs. Specifically inspiratory muscle training is the intervention with most favourable evidence.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the prophylactic efficacy of short-term intensive preoperative inspiratory muscle training on the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications in patients scheduled for cardiac surgery. DESIGN Single-blind, randomized controlled pilot study. SETTING TEDA International Cardiovascular Hospital, China. SUBJECTS In total, 197 subjects aged ⩾50 years scheduled for cardiac surgery were selected. INTERVENTION The intervention group ( n = 98) received five days of preoperative inspiratory muscle training on top of the usual care received by the patients in the control group ( n = 99). MAIN MEASURES The primary outcome variable was the occurrence of postoperative pulmonary complications. The secondary outcome variables were inspiratory muscle strength, lung function and length of hospitalization. RESULTS After cardiac surgery, a total of 10 (10.2%) of the 98 patients in the intervention group and 27 (27.3%) of 99 patients in the control group had postoperative pulmonary complications (risk ratio, 0.23; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.09-0.58, P = 0.002). The study revealed that, compared with the control group, the intervention group had a significant increase in inspiratory muscle strength (by 10.48 cm H2O, P < 0.001), forced expiratory volume in the first second of expiration (FEV1) %predicted (by 3.75%, P = 0.030), forced vital capacity (FVC) %predicted (by 4.15%, P = 0.008) and maximal voluntary ventilation (MVV) %predicted (by 6.44%, P = 0.034). Length of hospital stay was 7.51 (2.83) days in the intervention group and 9.38 (3.10) days in the control group ( P = 0.039). CONCLUSION A five-day intensive pattern of preoperative inspiratory muscle training reduced the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications and duration of postoperative hospitalization in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
