Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (7)
To investigate changes in physical performance measured by Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB)
Measures: walking speed, standing balance and sit-to-stand performance.
Baseline (one day before the surgery), after the surgery (the day immediately after ICU discharge) and through study completion, an average of 15 days.
To investigate changes in physical performance measured by Six-Minute Walk Test.
Measures: the assessment will take place in a flat 30-meter corridor, marked every 1 meter with non-slip flooring, and the patient will be instructed to walk for six minutes as fast as possible.
Baseline (one day before the surgery), after the surgery (the day immediately after ICU discharge) and through study completion, an average of 15 days.
To investigate changes in physical performance by 1-minute sit-to-stand test (1-MSTST)
Measure: number of 1-MSTST repetitions.
Baseline (one day before the surgery), after the surgery (the day immediately after ICU discharge) and through study completion, an average of 15 days.
To investigate changes in peripheral muscle strength
Measure: hand grip strengh measure (Kgf)
Baseline (one day before the surgery), after the surgery (the day immediately after ICU discharge) and through study completion, an average of 15 days.
To investigate changes in respiratory muscle strength:
Measures: maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressure (cmH2O)
Baseline (one day before the surgery), after the surgery (the day immediately after ICU discharge) and through study completion, an average of 15 days.
To investigate changes in lung function test measure by spirometry:
Measures: FVC (L), FEV1 (L), FEF (L/s) and FEF 25-75 (%)
Baseline (one day before the surgery), after the surgery (the day immediately after ICU discharge) and through study completion, an average of 15 days.
To investigate frailty by Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS)
The minimal value is 1 and the maximal is 9 in which the lowest scores mean worse outcomes.
Baseline (one day before the surgery), after the surgery (the day immediately after ICU discharge) and through study completion, an average of 15 days.
Secondary Outcomes (5)
To explore potential preoperative and immediate postoperative risk factors as predictors of functional loss.
Baseline (one day before the surgery) during the immediate postoperative period.
To investigate hemodynamic behavior during the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB).
Immediately before and after the SPPB.
To investigate hemodynamic behavior during the 1-minute sit-to-stand test (1-MSTST).
Immediately before and after the 1-MSTST tests.
To investigate respiratory behavior during the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB).
Immediately before and after the SPPB.
To investigate respiratory behavior during 1-minute sit-to-stand test (1-1-MSTST).
Immediately before and after the 1-MSTST tests.
Eligibility Criteria
Patients in the preoperative period of elective coronary artery bypass grafting and valve replacement surgery
You may qualify if:
- Age ≥ 18 years
- Both genders
- Elective coronary artery bypass grafting surgery
- Elective Heart valve surgery
- Absence of cognitive or peripheral motor impairment that prevents the performance of functional tests in the preoperative period.
You may not qualify if:
- Surgeries performed via lateral thoracotomy or minithoracotomy
- Reoperation for any reason
- Presence of cognitive or peripheral motor impairment that prevents the performance of functional tests in the postoperative period.
