BACKGROUND The patients undergo Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery fail to adhere their treatment regimen for many reasons. Among these, one of the most important reasons for non-adherence is improper training of such patients. Therefore, it is necessary for nurses to train these patients by choosing the appropriate approach. OBJECTIVE The aim of study is to compare the effect of gamification and teach-back training methods on adherence of therapeutic regimen of patients after coronary artery bypass graft(CABG) METHODS The present randomized clinical trial was conducted on 123 patients undergo CABG, Tehran, Iran, in 2019.Training was presented in teach-back group individually using teach-back training approach. In the gamification group, the developed application was installed on the patient's smartphone and the training was given in this way. The control group received routine training of the hospital. Finally, the adherence of therapeutic regimen was assessed using the adherence of therapeutic regimen questionnaire (physical activity and dietary regimen) and Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS) as pre-test and post-test (after one month later). RESULTS The sampling process continued from August 2019 to murch 2020. A total of 123 people were included in the study. One-way analysis of variance test for comparing the mean scores of teach-back and gamification training methods showed that the mean normalized scores for dietary regimen (P<.001, F-Value=71.80), movement regimen (P<.001, F-Value=124.53), medication regimen (P<.001, F-Value=9.66) before and after the intervention were significantly different between teach back, gamification and control groups. In addition, the results of Dunnett's test showed that teach-back and gamification training groups had a significant difference with control group in all three treatment regimen methods. There was no statistically significant difference in adherence of therapeutic regimen between teach-back and control groups. CONCLUSIONS Based on the results of the present study, the use of teach-back and gamification training approaches can be suggested for patients after CABG for adherence of therapeutic regimen.

Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is widely used for systemic and oxygenated systemic settings during open heart surgery. (Simon L, 2004) To date there is yet to be found a definitive biochemical marker that can be considered prognostic in patients who subside. using a CPB machine. Hyperglycemia is defined as a glucose level above the normal physiological range. Normal blood glucose level is 70-120 mg and levels > 120 mg/dL is a diagnostic level for diabetes. During CPB and coronary artery bypass off-pump (OPCAB), most patients tend to have elevated blood glucose levels despite no previous diabetes medical history. This study uses a descriptive study design study with a retrospective approach. The study was conducted in the Division of Cardiac and Cardiac Surgery of the Department of Surgery of the Faculty of Medicine USU/ RSUP H. Adam Malik Medan. The study was conducted after the proposal was approved. The population in this study were patients who performed Coronary Artery ByPass Graft surgery using Cardiopulmonary Bypass (CBP) at RSUP H. Adam Malik Medan in 2016 (01 January - 31 December 2016). The study involved patients who performed Coronary Artery ByPass Graft surgery using a CPB machine in RS. Haji Adam Malik Medan. The number of research subjects was 41 people. . Based on sex it is seen that more men (84.3%) than women. The mean of postoperative KGD H + 3 was the highest KGD that was 218,28 + 23,5 mg / dL. The use of Humulin R is most commonly used in insulin therapy with patients with postoperative CPB hyperglycemia. Based on the ANOVA test there was a significant difference in the value of KGD in H + 1 post CPB operation compared to H + 2 post CPB operation (p = 0.013, p <0.05).

Background: Atelectasis and hypoxemia are frequently reported after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). Some studies confirm the benefits of breathing exercises on pulmonary complications, but the efficacy of preoperative breathing exercises in patients undergoing CABG is controversial. In this study, the effect of preoperative breathing exercises on the incidence of atelectasis and hypoxemia in patients candidate for CABG was examined. Methods: In a single-blinded randomized clinical trial, 100 patients who were undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery were randomly allocated into two groups of experimental and control, each consisted of 50 patients. Before the operation, experimental group patients were enrolled in a protocol including deep breathing, cough and incentive spirometer. In the control group, hospital routine physiotherapy was implemented. All the patients received the hospital routine physiotherapy once a day for 2 to 3 minutes in the first four days postoperatively. Arterial blood gases and atelectasis were compared between groups. Results: There was no significant difference between groups in terms of atelectasis and hypoxemia (p Value>0.05). Conclusion: Preoperative breathing exercise does not reduce pulmonary complications in patients undergoing CABG.

Abstract Background Pain that pursues coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is usually associated with increased both recovery duration and hospital stay. Patient outcome could be worsened owing to large doses of opioids for pain control through over sedation, and prolonged mechanical ventilation. This study was designed to evaluate the effect of preemptive pregabalin on post CABG surgery pain control. Objective To study the effect of pregabalin administration before surgery in the treatment of acute postoperative pain after coronary artery bypass surgery. To study the effect of pregabalin on the consumption of opioids for acute postoperative pain. Patients and Methods Type of Study: Prospective double – blinded, randomized controlled Trial. After Approval is obtained from the research ethics committee of anesthesia and intensive care department, Ain Shams University. Study Setting: National Heart Institute, Egypt. Study Period: 6 months. Study Population: adult undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgeries. Results Analysis of VAS in the first 24 hours after extubation showed significant difference between Groups 1 and 2. Analysis of systolic blood pressure and heart rate in the first 24 hours showed no significant difference between Groups 1 and 2. It is important to note that because the observed “average” differences in systolic blood pressure and heart rate between groups were small, the clinical significance of such differences can be questioned. Furthermore, it would not be realistic to expect a big, dramatic benefit from a single intervention in a complex, multifactorial care process, such as in cardiac surgery. Given the complexity of these cases, we believe that even a small reduction in pain intensity is a meaningful improvement as we all try to improve care for these patients. Conclusion Pregabalin can be effective for reduction of post CABG pain and have better patient satisfaction if given preemptively with single dose preoperatively.

Background— Women have a higher operative mortality (OM) after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery than men. Suggested contributing factors have included women’s increased age, advanced disease, comorbidities, and smaller body surface area (BSA). It is unclear whether women’s increased risk factors fully account for this difference or whether female gender within itself is associated with increased OM. We attempted to determine whether, all other factors being equal, there is a significant difference in OM between men and women undergoing CABG. Methods and Results— We retrospectively reviewed a clinical database of 15,440 patients who underwent CABG at 31 Midwestern hospitals in 1999–2000. Each patient record consisted of >400 data elements. Risk-adjusted mortality rates were computed using a predictive equation derived by stepwise logistic regression. Overall, women were older, had a higher incidence of diabetes and valvular disease, and were more likely to be presenting in shock. The OM for the entire population was 2.88% (women 4.24% versus men 2.23%, P <0.0001). Lower BSA was found to be an independent predictor of increased mortality, and a direct inverse relationship between BSA and OM was noted. After adjusting for all comorbidities including BSA, female gender remained an independent predictor of increased mortality (risk-adjusted OM was 3.81% for women and 2.43% for men). Thus, whereas risk adjustment reduced women’s OM from 90% higher than men’s to 22% higher, a significant difference remained. Conclusions— In this contemporary data set from 31 Midwestern hospitals, female gender was an independent predictor of perioperative mortality, even after accounting for all comorbidities, including low BSA.

Abstract Background This study aimed to compare the effects of N-acetyl cysteine on renal function after coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Methods In this randomized clinical trial conducted in Golestan Hospital, Ahvaz, Iran, 60 candidates for coronary artery bypass graft surgery were selected and divided into two N-acetyl cysteine and control groups (30 people each). Patients received 3 (2 intraoperative and 1 postoperative) doses of IV N-acetyl cysteine (100 mg/kg) (n = 30) or placebo (n = 30) over 24 h. Prescription times were as follows: after induction of anesthesia, in the Next 4 h, and in the 16 h after on. Primary outcomes were serum levels of BUN and Cr, at baseline,4 and 48 h after surgery. And also need renal replacement therapy (RRT). Secondary outcomes included the hemodynamic variables, Blood products transfusion. Results There were significant differences in BUN between groups at 4 h (P = 0.02) and 48 h after surgery (P = 0.001) There were significant differences in Cr level between groups at 4 h (P < 0.001) and 48 h after surgery (P = 0.001). MAP at different times (at 4 h p = 0.002 and 48 h after surgery P < 0.001) were significantly different between the two groups. There was a significant difference between the two groups in terms of the unit of Packed cell transfusion (P = 0.002) and FFP transfusion (P < 0.001). Conclusion In the present study, we found that administration of N-acetyl cysteine can reduce the incidence of acute kidney injury in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery and improved kidney functions.

Introduction: Myocardial protection during Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) has always been an area of concern so we aimed to evaluate the level of release of Creatine Phosphokinase (CPK-MB) and Troponin I (cTnI) at various time intervals in the first 24 hours after on pump CABG in patients receiving either Sevoflurane or Isoflurane. Furthermore clinically relevant patient outcomes were also evaluated in patients undergoing on pump coronaryartery bypass grafting. Methods: This was a prospective randomized trial in patients undergoing on pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery, which was conducted from January 2016 till June 2017. A total of 105 patients were enrolled out of which there were 53 in Isoflurane and 52 in Sevoflurane group who received the respective volatile anesthetic agents throughout the surgery except during bypass at 1-1.5 MAC. The primary outcome was comparison of the CPK MB and cTnI levels at 0 hr, 6 hr, 12 hr and 24 hr after surgery from baseline, whereas the secondary outcomes were duration of intensive care unit stay, usage of vasopressors and inotropes, renal dysfunction, stroke. Results: No significant difference in CPK MB and cTnI levels at all time intervals in both the groups, the other secondary outcome parameters were comparable. Conclusion: The study found no difference in the cardiac markers between the two anesthetics. Based on the data, Sevofluraneand Isoflurane might be used equivalently in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery with extracorporeal circulation without any difference in their myocardial protection function.

Abstract Objective: Coronary artery bypass graft surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CABG) is one treatment for patients with coronary artery disease. After CABG, a series of inflammatory processes occur which affect other organs of the body and even cause severe organ damage and subsequently a worse prognosis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of pre-surgically administered melatonin on interleukins 22 and 13 in patients undergoing CABG.Results: In this study, 22 patients were evaluated, 10 patients (45.5%) in the Melatonin group, and 12 patients (54.5%) in the control group. The mean level of IL-22 at all time-points in T2, T3, and T4 was significantly lower in the Melatonin group (P <0.05). There was also a significant increase in IL-22 in both groups at T4 compared to T1. There was no significant difference between the two groups in IL-13 at any time, but the Melatonin group at T2 had a significant decrease in IL-13 compared to T1. This study showed that preoperative melatonin administration could prevent the increase of IL-22 but not IL-13.

  Background & Objective: To compare the safety and feasibility of using radial versus femoral access during coronary artery intervention of patients who had previously undergone coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Methods: The study was conducted in Ibrahim Cardiac Hospital & Research Institute (ICHRI), Dhaka from January 2013 to December 2015. During the period a total of 380 patients with past CABG surgery underwent diagnostic coronary angiogram (CAG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) at our institution. We retrospectively evaluated 98 consecutive patients who underwent graft intervention via the transradial (TRA, n=54) or transfemoral approach (TFA, n=44) route. Baseline clinical characteristics, angiographic characteristics and complications between the two study groups were observed. Result: The baseline clinical characteristics between the two study groups were similar. No significant difference was observed in terms of angiographic characteristics between the two groups. Contrast volume in between the groups was pretty similar (p = 0.267). Procedure time (40±20 min vs. 41±7 min, p=0.36) and fluoroscopy time (11.1±6.5 min vs. 12.5±8.7 min, p=0.19) were almost similar in both access for graft intervention. All PCI attempts were successful in both groups. Stent deployment was significantly more common in the TR access group. No significant difference was observed between the groups in terms of target vessel intervention. There was no major adverse cardiac event during hospitalization. However, the vascular access site complications were significantly lower (p=0.003) in the TRA group. Conclusion: The TRA for coronary artery bypass graft intervention is safe and feasible.
