Effects of E-care Protocol in Patients With Coronary Artery Bypass Graft

Starting soon · Not applicable

Conditions studied: CABG

In brief

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a heart disease caused by the buildup of plaque inside the coronary arteries that restricts blood flow to the heart which leads to heart attack. If it involve more than one artery it will be more critical so the preferred treatment will be coronary artery bypass graft. Respiratory failure after Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) is a serious complication with multifactorial causes i.e. pneumonia and atelectasis in inpatients. Postoperative pulmonary complications will be diagnosed using the Melbourne Group Scale (MGS), applied daily from postoperative day 1 to day 7. A score of ≥4 positive criteria will be used to identify PPCs. The scale's criteria will include chest radiograph findings, oxygen saturation, sputum characteristics, inflammatory markers, and ventilation data, physician diagnosis of pneumonia, readmission to ICU for respiratory reasons, prolong ventilation\> 24 hours, unplanned use of non-invasive ventilation.
