Continuous Positive Air Way Pressure in Cardiac Rehabilitation After CABG

Effect of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure in Phase 1 Cardiac Rehabilitation After Post CABG

Different studies reported that CPAP is effective to prevent respiratory complication in post CABG patient and have greater impact on walking time, ventilatory function and breathing pattern.

The walking time (6 minute walk test), effect on arterial blood gasses and long term effects of CPAP on cardiac activity, the previous studies focus only on the acute effects of CPAP along with specific exercises but did not tell about the long term effects. based on these finding this study is design to assess the effectiveness of CPAP in Post-op CABG patients regarding there early mobilization, walking time, ABGs and Ejection Fraction as there prognostic parameters in both phase-1 cardiac rehabilitation within hospital as well as in long-term prognosis, is of great interest.
