Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The present study will investigate the volume and extent of the expected physiological effects of "early mobilization" on the prevention of the clinical illness' detrimental sequelae and on the functional recovery promotion of CABG, AVR and MVR patients. Consequently, it will investigate if the improved health outcomes may limit the number and intensity of complications and thus if it may speed up hospital discharge.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Although the effects of "early mobilization" have been studied mainly in the intensive care unit setting, the findings could be applied to the surgical units' patients too, since they share common physiological and clinical characteristics. In the literature the effectiveness of "early mobilization" in the length of hospital stay and recovery of the patients operated for coronary artery bypass graft and heart valve replacement in the cardiac surgery setting, is unknown.

The term "early mobilization" is not restricted to a time factor procedure but contains the provision of a customized dynamic set of physical therapy techniques which in studies are variably determined in terms of duration, intensity, frequency and content.

The aim of the study is to determine the clinical effectiveness of the intensive early mobilization physical therapy intervention compared with standard care of physical therapy in the cardio-thoracic surgery clinic of Papageorgiou General Hospital of Thessaloniki.

The present study will investigate the volume and extend of the expected physiological effects of "early mobilization" on the prevention of the clinical illness' detrimental sequelae and on the functional recovery promotion, hospital mortality and readmission rate of CABG, AVR and MVR patients. Consequently, it will investigate if the improved health outcomes may limit the number and intensity of complications and thus may speed up hospital discharge. In the first group of the experimental design, patients will be treated with an intensive early mobilization protocol and the patients of the second group will receive a standard care physical therapy treatment. Controlling for the detailed baseline characteristics that will be assessed during medical history at admission, potential bias will be limited from unmeasured confounders of the study.

Participants Outcome Assessors
Patients and outcomes assessor will be blinded to the protocol each patient will be treated with. Both intervention and standard care protocols will be implemented by a third party.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Early mobilization group

Immediately after ICU extubation, enrolled patients will receive an intensive 30-45 minutes, implemented twice a day early mobilization protocol containing psychological empowerment, detailed informative education of patients and close relatives, close monitoring of the recovery course, frequent parameter protocol configuration, high intensity active progressive pulmonary and musculoskeletal exercises and mobility techniques, close monitoring for early identification and measures for prevention and treatment of complications.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Intensive early mobilization techniques

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Pulmonary techniques: lung mechanics and breathing pattern restoration, mucus clearance techniques, breathing control and cough techniques.

Musculoskeletal techniques: strengthening and functional exercises, active assistive moving techniques.

Standard care group

Enrolled patients will receive the standard hospital mobilization protocol after their admission to the ward, containing standardized basic pulmonary and mobilization techniques of 15 minutes, once a day.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Intensive early mobilization techniques

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Pulmonary techniques: lung mechanics and breathing pattern restoration, mucus clearance techniques, breathing control and cough techniques.

Musculoskeletal techniques: strengthening and functional exercises, active assistive moving techniques.
